TEACHERS UNION OFFICIALS SHOULD BE TEACHERS WHO UNDERSTAND HISTORY SINCE COLONIAL TIME


The  stand  of  between  teachers  and  government is   shameful in  the World  of  academia because it    gives  both parties  bad  image  both locally and  abroad.
Teachers  being  the  Eye  of  the society   they   should  show  a good  example  instead  of exposing  there  nakedness to  both  parents  and students.
Unless both  parties  read  history  and  the formation of  teachers  Union,  teachers  barbaric behavior can  poison  the minds  of  students
As  i write  majority  of  teachers  and    officials of there  Union don't    understand  historical background  of  there  union because  some  are  not  teachers, and  that  is  why  the  teachers  act  should  be changed  so  that Union  officials  should  be retired  teachers  and  professionals   in  the field
Teachers  remember Moi for  the motion he   moved in  the Legco in  1956 demanding that Africa  teachers be allowed to  form their own association
It was on  the basis  of  this   motion that   Samuel  Avany,  Stephen Kioni,  Iganaties Mkok and  others were  able to  found the Kenya National  Union of  Teachers in  1957 and  the effect its registration in  December 1958.
The  major  objective  of  the Union for  Africa  teachers was to   allow them tickle there  problems  eg  training with  dignity  in  order  to  be respected  by  the society because education was the only  key  for  development
 The  Union was not  formed to  spear  head  for strikes as it  is  today and  that  is  why  during his  leadership President Moi told  the late  Ambrose   Adeya Odongo to  keep  off politics from  teachers  and School  because he  was not   a teacher  him-selves.
 Adeya  was for  strike  but  Moi  was for  dignity   within  teachers professional because  without  diginity  students   cannot   perform  well.
   What  is  happening  now  is  teachers professionalism is  unexceptionable during  this   21 Century and  there   is  need for  the government  to change the law which should    guide teachers UNION  because  it  is  headed  by  people  who  are  guided  by  politicians  but  not   professionalism  because  some  of  them  are  not  teachers
  President  Mwai  Kibaki  as a former  lecture  at  Makerere  University who  was supposed to  became  the first  Prof  of    Economics   in  Africa  should  take  action on  that
