The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has called for enhanced protection for teachers in Nyandarua amid threats targeting non-local staff.

In a statement, KUPPET Deputy Secretary General Moses Nthurima said the union had received reports of ethnic incitement in the county, where campaigns for the Ol Kalou by-election are ongoing.

According to Nthurima, the threats have prompted teachers from non-local ethnic groups to apply for transfers due to fears for their safety.
