Former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Nelson Havi has criticized the teachers’ union officials for slamming the competency-based curriculum despite having filed affidavits in court supporting the new learning module.
“KNUT and KUPPET officials are dishonest lot. They filed affidavits in court supporting CBC,” Havi asserted in remarks targeted at the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET).
“Today they are shouting loudly that CBC is not viable and should be scrapped. Can they concede in court?” Havi posed.
Moreover, Havi made this remarks amid a sustained onslaught on CBC by a section of stakeholders in the education sector including some of who opposed his bid to have the implementation of the new curriculum stopped.
Similarly, the former LSK President had moved to court in 2021 to challenge CBC implementation arguing that the Ministry of Education could not alter the system of education through sessional papers and policy decisions instead of legislation.

In addition, Havi argued that CBC led to the disruption of the basic structure of the country’s education system and as a result interfered with the right to education.
However, KUPPET Secretary General Akelo Misori opposed Havi’s submissions in court defending the CBC.
Misori argued that CBC was aligned with the Constitution, and in particular Articles 53 and 43(1).
