KUPPET Accused of Mismanagement, TSC Deregisters Teachers, and Sossion Raises CBE Concerns - January 2026

Teachers in Embu and Kilifi Counties are accusing the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) of mismanaging funds and obstructing fair elections. In Embu, officials allege leadership failure and misuse of Branch Benevolent Funds (BBF). Concurrently, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has deregistered three teachers and issued a stern warning that unregistered individuals face imprisonment or fines. Former KNUT Chairman Wilson Sossion has warned of a potential education crisis, blaming inadequate teacher preparedness and confusion over the Competence-Based Education (CBE) system's rollout. Sossion also called for a continuous review of Kenya's CBE pathways to ensure their relevance to learners and the country's socio-economic needs.
