Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers across Kenya have rejected President William Ruto's directive to promote them to permanent and pensionable terms after two years of service, demanding immediate confirmation.

• The teachers accuse the government and the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) of contradicting their original contracts, which allegedly stipulated confirmation after 12 months.
• KUPPET backs the teachers, who are currently earning Ksh17,000, in their demand for promotion and increased salaries.
• The JSS teachers are also seeking full autonomy, arguing that their current placement under primary schools causes significant confusion in their roles.
