Among the issues raised was the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which he said had been restructured following discussions with the president.
Milemba went on to note that the union is seeking reforms in the funding of co-curricular activities, citing challenges with the current model.
During the State House meeting, President Ruto hosted leaders of all major teachers’ unions, including KNUT and KUPPET.
KNUT Secretary-General Collins Oyuu praised the president for reforms in the education sector and his efforts to promote teachers’ welfare, urging members to support him.
He further commended Ruto’s inclusive leadership style, saying it reflected the unity Kenya requires to progress.
Oyuu also used the opportunity to seek Ruto’s support in the implementation of the 2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) the union signed in July with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
