"content": "The recent strikes have wreaked havoc in the country. The strike that took longest was the one of 1997, which was fighting for the 150 to 200 per cent salary increase, and it was phased out to be paid in five years. Unfortunately, the Government did not honour the agreement it entered into with the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) in 1997. So, after honouring the first phase in 1997, the subsequent phases were dishonoured. This led to the strikes of 1998 and 2002. The strike of 2002 was on the eve of the general election, and those who wanted to join the Government assured the teachers that once they joined the Government, they would not at any other time go on strike, because their welfare would be looked into."
