Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Deputy Staffing Officer Peter Kega has instructed all TSC Sub County Directors to immediately transfer all teachers who have overstayed in one working station for over ten years.
While addressing 306 TSC Sub County Directors during a five-day workshop held at Egerton University, Kega told Sub County Directors to ensure no teacher who have overstay in a workstation for ten years remain there instead he or she should be transferred to another school to continue to serve the commission in other new schools.
“Ensure all teachers who have overstayed in a work station for over ten years are transferred”, ordered Kega.
He also warned Secondary school Principals and head teachers not to defy the instruction as he says that the directive is a normal transfer that is meant to enhance service delivery to the learners of Kenya.
He told Sub County Directors that they have powers to do that and nobody including the Principals can block them from exercising their duties of transferring teachers who have overstayed in one job station.
He said the teacher employer has confirmed that when a teacher or institutional head stays in one workstation for over ten years he or she becomes troublesome to the administration because they think that they cannot be transferred to any other work station.
“All teachers can work in any part of Kenya and there is no need for staying in one school without being transferred to another”, said Kega.
He also told all sub county Directors that when a teacher is transferred to a certain school, he or she should report to the new working station within 14 days.
Kega also warned Sub County directors not to give any teacher a letter of acting in a headship position without confirmation from the commission.
He said that many Sub county directors have a tendency of giving a deputy Principal or Deputy Head teacher a letter to act as Principal or head teacher without confirmation from the commission
