Knut hoists union's flag atop Mt Kenya's highest peak

In a display of perseverance and solidarity, the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) Chief Officer, John Gitari, successfully hoisted the union’s green flag atop Mount Kenya’s highest peak, Lenana Peak.

This historic moment symbolised the union’s unwavering commitment to advocating for the rights of Kenyan teachers.

Gitari, alongside his daughter Elizabeth Wanjiku, embarked on a four-day hike to scale Mount Kenya. The journey, a personal and collective achievement, culminated in the raising of the Knut flag at the summit, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing struggle for educators' rights.

Speaking shortly after the achievement, Gitari likened the difficult climb to the challenges that Knut faces in its fight for teachers welfare across the country.

 “Just as we have conquered this mountain, we are determined to overcome any obstacles that stand in the way of ensuring better working conditions for our teachers,” he said.

The Knut Chief Officer’s daughter, Elizabeth Wanjiku, an environmental consultant, meticulously planned and managed the hike.

Wanjiku’s expertise played a crucial role in ensuring the successful ascent, while Gitari's hiking, expeditions to the Aberdare Ranges and Ngong Hills, further fuelled his determination.

At the peak, Gitari had a moment of reflection, holding his Bible and delivering a sermon. Though the howling winds prevented him from being audible, the gesture underscored the deep personal significance of the moment.

“I look forward to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, which is often referred to as the roof of Africa,” he said

The Knut flag hoisted at Lenana Peak was signed by top union officials, adding a personal touch to the historic moment. Gitari’s feat serves not only as a testament to his resolve but also as a reminder of Knut’s enduring dedication to championing the rights of Kenyan teachers.
