He added: "Some of our colleagues have been separated from their families.Image a teacher transferred from Migori County to Vihiga and his wife taken to Narok.How do you want such a family to remain intact?

"The students involved in the burning of their schools because the ministry does not want to listen and solve their problems," he said.

He called for a change of leadership at the Kenya National Examination Council, after claiming that some students were burning schools to escape upcoming national exams.

"Do you want to tell me that students from Maranda, Kisii school, Meru school and Kisumu girls fear exams yet they have always been successful? worry that someone up there does not particularly listen when their teachers talk, "Sosion said.

On the proposal to introduce similar uniforms in all public schools, Mr. Sossion said that the movement is misinformed and simply intended to benefit a few people, who will receive offers to provide uniforms to schools as is the case with text books.
