Meanwhile the Head of the Anglican Church of Kenya Archbishop Eliud Wabukala called on the government to commit itself to providing a solution to the on-going teachers strike and bring it to an end.
Wabukala asked the government to engage in dialogue rather than issue threats terming the teachers demands as genuine.
“As a church we want to appeal to all parties concerned in this industrial unrest especially the government, to give commitment to address what the teachers are asking because we are looking at the bigger picture which is the nation of Kenya,” Wabukala stated.
Speaking after a Sunday service at the All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi, Wabukala also called on teachers to be tolerant and accept negotiations with the government, fearing that if the strike continued, students sitting for their national examinations would be adversely affected.
“Let us pursue that which is just, let us ask for tolerance and dialogue which is genuine and that the teachers approach it with understanding because they are parents in this country,” the Archbishop said.
Teachers have been out of class for the past one week.
