Daily News Online: Govt says most teachers’ claims not genuine

As teachers yesterday announced a countrywide strike starting next Monday, the government has said about half of their claims are not genuine. The decision to call the strike was announced by the President of the Tanzania Teachers Union (TTU), Mr Gratian Mukoba, yesterday at a press conference in Dar es Salaam two days after the Court of Appeal had ruled in their favour.
