“We must be ready that there will be no hundred percent transitions to secondary school with resistance,” Misori said.

He also said that the country will experience massive job cuts with the civil service being crippled due to nationwide strikes and industrial action across various departments

“With resistance the employment we are talking about cannot be done and with resistance you don’t expect even salaries of employees of public service to be paid,” he said.

The Unionist said every economy relies heavily in discharging of duties in relation to taxes collected.

National Resistance Movement, a NASA affiliate group Friday issued a list of products and urged its members to boycott them.

These included, Safaricom, Brookside and Bidco products with NASA extending their boycott campaign to Kibera on Saturday.

NASA also threatened to issue to day this week where it will urge its members to demonstrate against the Jubilee government.

But speaking during KUPPET’s annual general meeting in Migori town, Misori said that the open campaign on economic boycott was not good for the country.

“There is no need for standoff; there is no reason of issuing threats on the streets and there is no need of engaging in public fora thinking it will be good. It will not be good,” the KUPPET Secretary General said.

He said the boycott was a recipe for chaos adding that if that is what Kenyans felt is good for them then there was no need of stopping them.
