TSC pluck 3 KUPPET Executive Secretaries from Office Back to Class
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has thrown into confusion the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) after it plucked three branch executive secretaries from office and took them back to class under unclear circumstances.
This unprecedented action is one of the unconventional moves by the teacher employer, considering that the teachers are still serving their terms as branch bosses.
Those affected are Omondi Oluoch of Tana River, Moses Kimwere of Isiolo and William Lengoyiap of Samburu, who have now been instructed to report to their indicated stations with immediate effect. The order is contained in their respective posting letters dated January 23, 2024, copies of which have been seen by Education News.
In the posting letters, Oluoch has been taken to Uriri High School to teach Mathematics and Physics in a letter signed by Catherine Wachira (Migori TSC County Director), Lengoyiap has been posted to Kirisia Secondary School to teach Biology and Agriculture, while Kimwere has been whittled to Waso Secondary School to teach Mathematics and Chemistry.
Both letters were signed by Tola Jilo for TSC Secretary and Chief Executive Officer Dr Nancy Macharia.
The three have further been directed to report to their stations within 14 days for assignment of duties, with principals of the schools being directed to inform the commission through their county directors the date they reported for duty.
Any appeal against this posting should reach the Commission within 14 days from the date of this letter and in case of any appeal, you are required to report to your new station as you await the decision of the Commission,” reads the letter in part.
The three who spoke to Education News stated that they did not receive any communication from the union Secretary General Akello Misori on the surrounding circumstances.
