Kenya National Union of primary teachers has proposed to increase the retirement age for its officials from sixty years to sixty-five a move that has been opposed by other officials.
This proposal to raise the retirement age is meant to benefit some top officials in the Union who are expected to retire beginning from next year according to one of the officials in the Union who is against the proposal.
Incase this proposal to increase the retirement age for teachers holding positions in the Union to sixty-five from sixty pushes through top officials like Oyuu, Karinga Patrick, Mutai Stanely and Muthoni Mercy who were expected to retire within the next two years will benefit.
The other officials are against the proposal as this will hinder them from growing to higher positions in the Union leadership
