KUPPET’s Old Guard Refuses Retirement Age Amendments

Recently, the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has found itself embroiled in a series of legal disputes surrounding proposed changes to its constitution.

These amendments are significant, aiming to eliminate the retirement age for union officials and mandate branch officials seeking national office to resign from their current positions.

Members and officials alike have taken opposing sides, leading to petitions and counter petitions in the Employment and Labour Relations Court.

National officials such as Chairman Omboko Milemba and Secretary General Akello Misori are central figures in this legal showdown.

Proposed Constitutional Changes

The core of the controversy includes efforts by certain KUPPET members to nullify the retirement age restriction for union leaders, enabling them to hold office indefinitely.

Additionally, they seek to enforce a requirement that branch officials vacate their roles before contesting national positions.

Legal proceedings have intensified as various factions within KUPPET clash over these amendments.

The courts are now deliberating on whether to validate these changes, which also propose altering quorum requirements and integrating gender parity principles.

However, dissenting voices from branch officials across 47 counties have mounted a separate legal challenge.

They contest the legality of extending retirement ages and allowing full-time parliamentary roles for union leaders, citing constitutional violations.

Constitutional Integrity and Member Rights

Critics argue that these amendments were introduced without proper procedural adherence, violating both KUPPET’s own constitution and broader constitutional provisions of Kenya.

They emphasize the need for transparent, inclusive processes in constitutional amendments.

As the legal battles unfold, the outcome will shape not only KUPPET’s internal governance but also its broader influence in education policy and teacher representation across Kenya.

The resolution will hinge on judicial interpretations of constitutional law and procedural fairness.
