Kirinyaga JSS Teachers Call for Corruption Probe into TSC Hiring Practices

Kirinyaga JSS teachers staged peaceful demonstrations today, demanding permanent terms of employment and calling for an investigation into the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) regarding job appointments.

Their chairman, Josephat Kariuki, speaking during the protests, urged the EACC to probe alleged corruption within the TSC, emphasizing disparities in job opportunities between recent graduates and those from earlier years.

Under the hashtag #confirm and compensate, the Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers have pledged to continue their strike until they secure permanent positions.

“As JSS teachers from Kirinyaga we call upon the EACC to investigate TSC on job placements. It can’t be that teachers who graduated from 2012-2022 are still tarmacking while a teacher who graduated in 2022-2023 has a permanent job. This shows corruption and rot in the commission,” said Kariuki.

Moses Gachoki criticized Education CS Ezekiel Machogu, accusing him of favoritism in issuing appointment letters and urging the EACC to investigate these allegations.

Gachoki emphasized, “CS Machogu‘s preferential treatment at funerals in Kisii while directing other regions to seek assistance from MPs constitutes blatant corruption.”

Undeterred by threats, Gachoki affirmed their resolve to continue the demonstrations, asserting their constitutional right to strike, which they argue wouldn’t be necessary if TSC adhered to court orders.

The teachers argue that the government responds only to demonstrations, highlighting their belief in the effectiveness of collective action.

Anniel Kamau, a parent, expressed solidarity with the teachers, advocating for fair compensation and recognition of their invaluable contribution to society, contrasting teacher salaries with other professions’ earnings.
