MP calls out TSC as politicians get 3,256 teacher employment letters.

Jane Kihara, the MP for Naivasha, criticized the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for continuing to hire 20,000 junior secondary school (JSS) teachers.

The practice has been described by the legislature as biased in favor of members of Parliament who support the government.

This comes after it was discovered that politicians, primarily Members of Parliament, had received at least 3,000 employment letters.

Kihara said that because of the suspected bias and unbalanced methodology, the exercise should be halted and investigations should be conducted.

The member said that some constituencies benefited while others were excluded, indicating that the process had taken a political turn.

Kihara pointed out that hundreds of teachers who had fulfilled the predetermined academic levels and requirements would be left out of the exercise.

According to Kihara, the situation began last year when lawmakers who were thought to be pro-government were given employment forms to distribute to educators in their districts.

Tens of MPs who had backed the ousted Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua were excluded from the “presidential Christmas gift,” she continued.

“It’s in the public domain that MPs who back the president are receiving employment forms, and this is unfair to teachers. It’s time that this stopped,” she said.

After providing them with a bus, Kihara spoke at Naivasha Day Secondary School and said that graft and a lack of budget were driving the school sector to ruin.

There are concerns that tens of pupils entering grade nine may be left behind when she revealed that tens of schools had lost out on Junior Secondary School (JSS) classes.

“The government’s failure to release capitation funds has further exacerbated the issue, and as a result, many schools are unable to operate,” she said.

Since hundreds of students from low-income families had been shut out, Kihara called the university’s finance approach another cause for concern.

“Many families are suffering greatly as a result of the government’s controversial funding model for low-income students who want to attend universities,” she said.

Amos Gamba, the school principal, stated that in just five years, the day school’s student body had grown from 800 to 1,500.

“This bus will further motivate the students, and we are happy that the school’s academic performance has continued to improve every year,” he said.

Joseph Kibuta, the chairman of the school, pointed out that parents had been requesting a bus for years but were unable to pay for it because of the difficult economic conditions.

“The assistance from NG-CDF has been helpful, as this is the biggest day school in Naivasha serving hundreds of students from low-income families,” he stated.
