The Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) took the row over membership in the Kenya Women Teachers Association (Kewota) to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) also took action, asking its members to keep of the lobby.
Knut's Secretary-General Wilson Sossion asked the EACC and the DCI to investigate officials at the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for allegedly colluding with Kewota to recruit teachers without their knowledge.
Kuppet's acting Secretary-General Moses Nturima members were recruited and deductions made with the blessing of the TSC, which he claimed had vested interests.
