“We cannot attest the fact that members are back to the union and we are really good to go. Last week alone, I did not mention that we received 26,000 applications. That is not a small number in one week. You can imagine what would happen in the subsequent weeks,” he added.
Oyuu expressed confidence that KNUT has restored its lost glory and that soon, the original membership will be attained.
“I expect that by around 5th of February, we shall be back to normal because the 26,000 just came from three regions. One region being a very small region, north eastern region, central region and western region.Nyanza, rift valley, coast have not presented their forms and I know when they presen their forms, we shall reach over 150,000 members,” said the hopeful Oyuu.
