The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has rejected the latest salary increments proposed by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).

KUPPET argues that the adjustments have widened the pay gap between teachers and other public servants while failing to address long-standing welfare concerns.

Speaking during a press briefing on Wednesday, KUPPET Secretary-General Akelo Misori said the proposed salary review had fallen far below teachers' expectations, accusing the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) of failing to adequately safeguard the interests of educators during the salary review process.
