A barber has applauded the court order ordering teachers to resume their work on Monday 5th after a five week strike. He says his business has returned to normalcy at Chebaiwo center, Kesess constituency-Uasin Gishu County.
Speaking from his barber shop on Monday, Mr.Obed Onyango said the teachers strike had lowered their income since students did not go to shave their hair.
"I have been getting less income, but since Monday students have been coming in full force," he said.
Mr.Obed however urged parents to encourage their children to stay smart all the time noting that teachers strike or holidays should not affect their job.
"It is unfortunate that students only visit barber shops when school re-opens, this should not be the case’ he lamented.
The two teachers unions-Kenya National union of Teachers (Knut) and Kenya Union of post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet )on Saturday asked their members to return to work, bringing to an end a five week long strike that had paralyzed the education system. The union was ordered by court to end the strike.
