Statement over teachers' strike as Kenya union officials walkout of the negotiations early July.

KNUT officials Wilson Sossion and Mudzo Nzili have accused the government of acting in bad faith by having them held in contempt of court just days after striking a deal with the government to end the teachers strike.

Sossion now says that the union will revert to it's hardline stance in negotiations over teachers housing and medical allowances. Nzili adds that they are happy to pay the price in the fight for teachers rights.
