Narok JSS Intern Teachers Hold Demonstrations, Demands TSC’s Permanent Employment
Intern teachers from Narok town’s Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) recently demonstrated peacefully, requesting the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to hire them permanently and pensionably.
They marched through the streets, refusing to return for a second term without confirmation.
Expressing dissatisfaction, Josphat Kipng’eno questioned why TSC disobeyed a court decision requiring permanent employment for all intern teachers.
The demonstrators emphasized the significance of a fair and transparent hiring process, providing instances such as the distribution of confirmation letters during funeral ceremonies.
Elias Kimorgo reiterated their sentiment, emphasizing compliance with the court judgment that declared the internships unconstitutional. “We are law-abiding citizens,” he said, “and we won’t resume until confirmed.”

Dauphine Adhiambo, a JSS teacher, highlighted the inadequacies of the Sh. 17,000 monthly wage, emphasizing the difficulties of supporting expenses, particularly for those teaching away from home. She asked TSC for permanent positions to help them improve their livelihoods.
In 2023, TSC engaged around 800 intern instructors for junior secondary schools. At a church ceremony in Narok town, Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro backed the interns’ request, pressing TSC to consider permanent employment.
The interns threatened increased protests if their demands were not satisfied. They are unified in their desire for fair and secure employment.
