Very true! Usi ichezee
You see Wilson Sossion had to deal, as the KNUT chair he had to do what a leader had to do.....through the strike he made the right noise at the right time but the garment I believe out of tune declared the schools closed (Do they care?Care about what.Show me one of the kids of any of our top servants(lords)in a public school). The plan (shrewd) was to cut the pipe that feeds the teachers regardless of what the collateral damage would be.In this case (pupils, banks, landlords etc), with kids officially on holiday,the govt intended not to pay them their June and July salaries. Truth be said that is more than many of the teachers can handle.Their spirits would be broken,they would not meet all their obligations such as SACCO loans,Hire purchases,the local grocery store bill,rent ,electricity for some ,fare,etc.Beaten they would troop back ...crest fallen and beg for their jobs and pay.Sossion I think in his wisdom knew this, he understands an insensitive garment, full of showmanship and big egos...they will find someone to blame for the woes...he has carefully conceded (other options too grave) while getting something out of it: They will get their pay,No one will be fired,the court cases will be dropped,they will get some increment,kids will go back to school.....he simply knew when to quit and while at it his friend gets the headline: "Ruto negotiates to end the teachers strike"
