On June 25, 2021, Wilson Sossion, the former TSC boss, announced his resignation as the Secretary-General of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) at a press conference in Nairobi.
The move comes ahead of KNUT elections, which were set to take place the following day, and Sossion cited the government's failure to support his leadership as the reason for his departure.
During his tenure, Sossion claimed that the education sector had improved significantly, but he faced opposition from government institutions and his rivals within the union.
As Sossion steps down, he will now focus on his new role as a Member of Parliament, leaving behind a legacy of controversy and conflict within the KNUT.
