As top Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) officials announced his suspension on Friday, the ouster of Knut Secretary General Wilson Sossion was nolonger a matter of if but when.
He has over the years been involved in fights with the government, through the Ministry of Education and the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), in his push for better terms for the over 190,000 tutors.
This raises the question as to why the union would turn against him, the answer being the so many war fronts he seems to have opened, against everybody at the same time.
Knut seems to have plotted his ouster since his fights with the state entities saw Knut members left out of the third phase of the 13 billion salary increment in July.
About the state, he has been against the Competency Based Curriculum, thus putting him at loggerheads with Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha.
This amounts to an indirect war with President Uhuru Kenyatta who wants the CBC implemented, and has directed Magoha to see that it happens.
Therefore, this prompted the state, through the TSC, to deregister him, which was going to technically show him the door, and it finally did, resulting in his replacement with his deputy Hesbone Otieno on an acting capacity.
On Wednesday, the dared Knut officials attempting to oust him to proceed with their attempts, terming them projects of the TSC, and noting that only delegates can kick him out.
Ironically, Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) boss Francis Atwoli who has been vocal about his woes has not spoken on his ouster.
Similarly, his party leader Raila Odinga, on whose Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party he was nominated to Parliament in 2017, has remained silent, and so are his fellow MPs.
