Some section of members of the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers ( Kuppet ) have proposed for reforms in the leadership for the union.
Incase this new push would yield fruits, it is likely to see the exit of several high-ranking officials among them chairman Omboko Milemba.
KUPPET chairman Mr. Milemba, is also the member of Parliament for Emuhaya constituency.
Another official is the Bungoma Woman Rep Catherine Wambilyanga, who doubles up as Kuppet Secretary for Gender and Women.
The above leaders are among top union officials who could be forced to exit should the move to bar officials from holding two jobs change.
There are other several officials at the branch level who are currently doubling up as Ward Reps,others as Executive Committee Members and others as Chief Officers who may be pushed out.

Their stay in office is scheduled to expire in December 2026.
In last year during the National Delegates Conference (NDC) convened on December 15 and 16th 2023 at the Kasarani Sports Complex in Nairobi , the discussion and adoption of the changes on the constitution ended in disarray following sharp differences among officials and members.
There is another Special National Delegates Conference which is now scheduled for this year where all members are expected to either ratify or reject the proposals through a secret ballot.
