TSC has said that recently conducted interviews for promotion have revealed a lot of hidden information about the qualifications of teachers in different cadres. Furthermore, it came to the attention of the commission that some of the documents that teachers present do not show the correlation with the serial numbers on the documents.
According to the research findings of the committee, the TSC Director of staffing Ms Rita W. Wahome, revealed that the serial numbers outlined on the documents submitted do not bring out clear information on the individual teacher’s database.
Ms Wahome continued to elaborate that names written in any order on the documents require support documents such as affidavits to verify the authenticity of the owner.
She further said that the mismatch or lack of serial numbers which are computer-generated requires clear explanations by the owner of the documents.
