KUPPET Makueni Advocates for Full CBA Implementation.
The Makueni branch of the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has joined a nationwide call for the full implementation of the 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). Executive Secretary Justus Kimeu, addressing concerns from his Wote office, emphasized the need not only for the completion of the current CBA but also for the initiation of the 2025-2029 CBA.
“We demand comprehensive implementation of the CBA,” Kimeu stated. He also called for the confirmation of 46,000 Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers, the reinstatement of those dismissed, and promotions for teachers currently serving in acting capacities. Furthermore, Kimeu highlighted the necessity for dedicated infrastructure for JSS establishments to support both administration and extracurricular activities.

Kimeu also stressed the importance of addressing allowances. He urged for responsibility allowances for Heads of Departments (HoDs) and risk allowances for Science teachers. He added that there is an urgent need to correct and adjust the basic salaries for C5 teachers and harmonize house allowances.
“If these issues are not resolved, teachers may resort to striking in September,” Kimeu warned.

Regarding Minet’s health cover, Kimeu called for an enhanced package, which should include the reinstatement of group life cover and prompt resolution of authorization delays.
He also urged parents to ensure that their children focus on their studies and daily responsibilities instead of participating in demonstrations. “These children have already faced significant disruptions due to recent floods. They need to thoroughly revise their studies while also assisting with daily chores at home,” he advised.
