Kenya National Union of Teachers Secretary General Wilson Sossion has said he turned down nomination to the National Assembly by the Orange Democratic Movement to concentrate on steering labour movements he chairs.

Sossion said on Friday that he asked the ODM Party, in which he is a life member, to give the slot to another person who can represent the interest of workers after wide consultations with the party and the various movements he steers.
