Disciplinary Process

  1. A Head of institution may initially issue a verbal warning or caution the teacher in writing on minor breaches.
  2. In case of persistent misbehaviour, the teacher may be required to show cause why disciplinary action should not be taken against him/her.
  3. From the teacher’s response, the head of institution may serve the teacher with a warning or present the case before the agent.

The agent shall;

  1. Investigate and assemble relevant evidence.
  2. Invite the accused teacher in writing to defend himself/herself against specified allegation.
  3. Call witnesses to give evidence in the presence of the accused teacher.
  4. Allow the teacher to cross-examine each witness.
  5. In case of desertion where teacher’s whereabouts is unknown, the agent will interdict without any delay.

After the preliminary hearing the agent may reach any of the following decisions;

  1. No case to answer.
  2. Warn the teacher administratively.
  3. Interdict the teacher.

NB: In some cases TSC or agent can interdict a teacher without inviting him/her for preliminary hearing.

An interdicted teacher should write a defense statement within 21 days from the date of interdiction and provide contact address.

A case will normally be heard within three months after interdiction. In case of delay the teacher is advised to make enquiries.

List of TSC teachers who failed to declare wealth, to miss salaries

Leave a comment
Advertisements

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has released a list of 3,500 teachers and staff who failed to file their 2019 wealth declarations. Via a circular dated April 14, 2020, the Commission boss says the said teachers and staff have been expunged from the TSC payroll until they meet certain set conditions. All TSC employees, just like other workers in the formal sector, were required to declare their 2017/2019 Income, Assets, and Liabilities by 31 December, 2019 through the TSC Wealth Declaration online portal.

“Over 3,500 employees (secretariat staff and teachers) did not declare their Wealth within the stipulated deadline. Consequently, the Commission has stopped the employees’ salaries for Non-Compliance from March and April 2020 payrolls,” says the TSC Boss.

The Kenyan law requires all public officers to declare their wealth; periodically. This declaration is made online and there are hefty penalties for officers who fail to declare their income, assets and liabilities within the stipulated time. According to the Public Ethics Act of 2003, It is mandatory for all public officers to declare their income, assets and liabilities once in every two years.

All teachers in employment of TSC are required to declare their Income, Assets and Liabilities. These include teachers on: Any kind of leave, Interdiction, Suspension or Sick leave.

About 40,000 teachers had not submitted their returns, online, by December 30, 2019. This prompted the Commission to extend the deadline by one more week. Those affected were given the grace period to file their data between 8th – 14th January, 2020.

For the teachers and staff to be reinstated into the TSC payroll they will be required to write an letter through their immediate Supervisor/Head teacher/Principal to explain why they did not adhere to the instructions to declare their wealth as stipulated in law.
“To fast track reinstatement, the letters be scanned and emailed to TSC headquarters with a covering letter listing the forwarded cases, by the TSC County Director,” says the Commission.
School heads must also give evidence that the teacher is indeed in active service.

“The Headteacher/Principal/Supervisor to confirm in writing that the employee has been in active service and /or has been teaching all along. The letter should be validated and forwarded to TSC Headquarters by the TSC County Director/TSC Sub-County,” adds the Commission.

Those affected will be hoping that the Commission will not take further action. This is because any teacher in the TSC employment who fails to submit a declaration or gives false or misleading information is liable to a fine of Kshs 1,000,000 or be imprisoned for a term not exceeding one year or both upon conviction.

The Committee on Education chaired by Tinderet MP Hon Melly on Wednesday February 26, 2020, held a meeting with the Ministry of Education, TSC, and office of the Inspector General of Police, following an order by the speaker of the National Assembly last week. The meeting was held to address the recent massive transfers of teachers working in the North Easter Region following attacks by Militia Group, the Alshabaab. Here is an account of what happened during the meeting courtesy of http://educationnewshub.co.ke and the National Assembly press.

RESPONSES BY TSC

The Teacher’s Service Commission was first to respond to the Questions raised by the Wajir West MP Hon Ahmed Kolosh, who last week; on the floor of the house, sought explanations why TSC has been transferring Teachers from the Region.

Below were the responses from the TSC Boss Dr. Nancy Macharia;

Dr. Nancy Macharia; TSC Boss

  • “Even as we are accused of removing teachers from N.Eastern, we did our best to ensure that they worked there, and even interdicted (and later rehired) some who were not in line with their employment terms.”
  • “Between 2018 and 2020, there have been sporadic attacks on Non-local teachers by some Locals in these regions, causing the instability of their stay there.”
  • “I want to let you know that it’s only in the North Eastern region that the Recruitment of Teachers is open round the Year. And we have even reviewed some of our laws to accommodate the volatile situation.”
  • “We have no issues whatsoever with sending teachers to any part of this country, but their security and Wellbeing is a priority to us.”
  • “The Commission has taken various initiatives to help solve the stalemate, including engagement of Government Institutions, Political and Local leaders. Some of whom have dismissed the security concerns raised by the teachers.”
  • ‘Since the beginning of attacks on teachers in N.E.R, the KNUT and KUPPET have piled pressure on us to transfer teachers from these regions,and even sponsored the teachers to file court cases against the Employer.”
  • “We have been portrayed as a heartless employer which has no regard for the wellbeing of our teachers in these regions, while in reality we have done our best to ensure their safety.”
  • “We are asking the Leaders of North Eastern region to help us in encouraging their locals who are trained teachers, to apply for teaching jobs in that region. And to encourage more of their people to train as teachers so they don’t need to demand for non-local teachers.”
  • “The continuous condemnation by local leaders on the transfer of teachers during attacks in the region have continued to cause panic among teachers left behind, who in turn, seek transfers too, in fear of their safety.”
  • “We have to emphasize here, that safety concerns of our teachers are of paramount importance to us as an employer, contrary to the misconception that we don’t care about their wellbeing once deployed to their stations of duty.”
  • “Teaching, like any other profession in this country, is a serious profession and if our teachers are to be marketable beyond our borders, we cannot lower our standards of qualification to be trained as a teacher.”
  • “I’m worried when its implied that we aren’t taking any affirmative action, we have done the best that we can to employ more teachers on Permanent and Pensionable basis almost immediately after graduation.”

INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE

Here is what the Inspector General of Police, Hillary Mutyambai, had to say;

Inspector General of Police, Hillary Mutyambai,

  • “We still have a big number of police officers in training, whom we hope to deploy to this region in the next two months. Despite the fact that we have also lost a very large number of police officers in the area, during our intervention.”
  • “This is a very comprehensive and complex situation that needs a partnership between the local leaders and security personnel to handle. The leaders must talk to their people.”
  • “As unfortunately implied by Hon Kolosh, to us, if a death occurs on the ground, it’s not a matter of a local police officer vs a non-local officer, it is our officer who is accorded the same treatment regardless of their origin.”
  • “Any insecurity cases facing teachers were, and have always been, communicated in real time. We have always advised accordingly.”
  • “The National Police Service only comes in to respond because the TSC has given Insecurity as one of the reasons why they’re transferring teachers from the North Eastern region.”
  • “The question on why teachers were running to the bush and not to the police stations, is a matter we cannot generalize. The police officers deployed to the region have given their best service to the people and should be acknowledged so.”

On his part Prof. George Magoha, Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Education, told the Legislators the following;

Prof. George Magoha, Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Education

  • “The Leadership of the Northern region should identify students fit to be trained as teachers, so they can be trained a soon as possible.”
  • “I am aware that there are 24,058 students in the North Eastern region who scored grade C plain and above. I dont see why we cannot train them to be teachers, to teach in their own locality.”
  • “Everything the MP who raised this question said is correct, except the omission of the fact that people died there, Kenyans died in the North Eastern region.”

While signing off Chair, Melly said; “We have heard the submissions of the Commission, the Ministry, and the I.G. We shall retreat to write our report on this matter as a Committee, bearing in mind all the issues presented before us today. In all, the Kenyan child is the priority in this matter.”

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has effected the December 2019 delocalization exercise for school heads. In Kisii County, a total of fifty (50) teachers have been moved to neighbouring counties. The handing/ taking over exercise for the administrators is expected to be completed before schools open for first tern on January 6, 2020.

Those moved are heads and principals and their deputies serving in their home counties and those who have served in the same station for a long period. Also on the move are new administrators who were appointed after the just concluded interviews .

Teachers with medical conditions have been spared from the ongoing delocalization exercise. Also spared are teachers aged above 56 years and those set to retire.

The Commission kicked off the delocalization exercise in January, 2018. Other massive deployments would then follow in April, August and December of the same year. Though in April, 2019 the Commission slowed down the transfers as only a handful administrators were moved.
