Hours after the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) expressed willingness to meet with the Teachers Service Commission to resolve the ongoing countrywide strike, TSC has come out to say it will not hold any talks until the lobby calls off the job boycott.

In response to Kuppet's request for a meeting today (Thursday), the Commission said that although it is ready to engage the union, the latter should comply with a Labour Court order that suspended the strike on Tuesday.
