Mwinyi hails the late Okuta

Friday, April 12, 2013 - 00:00 -- BY CHARLES MGHENYI
Changamwe MP Omar Mwinyi has paid tribute to the late Knut national secretary general David Okuta. Mwinyi described Okuta as a brave fighter who had the teachers’ welfare at heart. Mwinyi is a former teacher having taught in several schools in Mombasa.
Speaking after signing the condolence book at the Knut county offices In Magongo, the MP described Okuta as an important individual in teaching fraternity.
“We thank him for the time he dedicated in fighting for the wellbeing of the teachers throughout the country,” he said. He said he will work with the Knut office and facilitate transport for few teachers to attend their colleague's funeral in Nyanza.
“After saying goodbye to our good friend it will be nice to have someone from the region to vie for the Knut secretary general seat at the national level,” he said.
The MP said if an official from the county is elected for the post, they will be in a position to champion for improved education standards. Dan Aloo, the executive member of the union from Coast region, said they will consider the advise. Aloo urged the MP to ensure teachers’ plights are well addressed while in Parliament.
