Kenya: Teachers to go on strike over salaries

Teachers will go on strike to press for the speedy implementation of their salary increment. Kenya National Union of Teachers secretary general Francis Ng'ang'a asked the Government to conclude the payment this year or brace for a countrywide strike. While marking the start of elections of officials to serve for another five-year-term, Mr Ng'ang'a told Education minister Noah Wekesa to begin talks with the union on how the payment could be speeded up.
