Teachers have never endorsed NASA flag-bearer Raila Odinga as claimed by Knut secretary general Wilson Sossion.

This is according to Knut chairman Mudzo Nzili.

NziliNzili said that every teacher has the right to choose a presidential candidate of their own and that they won't be coerced into electing candidates who are favourites of the union officials. 

“National steering committee and national executive council have not declared anything for teachers or support for NASA,” he said.

“Teachers are free to support the candidate of their choice and maintain your neutrality for the benefit of activities of IEBC,” he added.

Nzili termed it unethical for the secretary general to associate teachers with NASA yet majority of them are serving at clerical posts in the IEBC.

“He has been promised nomination and so let him go. Kenya teachers have the freedom to support any party they want. Those in Jubilee strongholds and those in ODM strongholds can support who they want. We have no marriage with NASA. We have not declared to support Raila,” he said atat Diani.
