Uncertainty Surrounds TSC Promotion Letters Amid Parliamentary Criticism

As Dr. Nancy Macharia’s tenure as CEO of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) approaches its conclusion, the release of promotion letters for recently qualified teachers remains uncertain. The National Assembly’s rejection of the latest promotion initiative has placed TSC leadership in a challenging position, necessitating a comprehensive review of the entire process.

Sources indicate that Dr. Macharia is carefully considering whether to move forward with the promotions in light of the parliamentary directive that halted the process. This situation is particularly difficult, given the scrutiny from both lawmakers and the public.

Julius Melly, the chair of the Education Committee in Parliament, has been vocal in his criticism, questioning why some teachers have received promotions within a single year while others have remained in the same job group for over eight years.

Melly has also raised concerns about newly hired teachers appearing on the promotion list ahead of their more experienced colleagues. In a recent speech in Baringo County, he described the process as unfair and unjust, explaining that the parliamentary Education Committee intervened because it did not meet the required standards.

This controversy is overshadowing Dr. Macharia’s decade-long leadership at the TSC, a period during which she has frequently highlighted her accomplishments. If the promotion initiative is ultimately deemed invalid, it could tarnish her reputation and impact her future career prospects.

Meanwhile, the delay in issuing promotion letters is causing frustration among teachers nationwide. Many who were eager to celebrate their advancements are now left waiting and frequently contacting TSC offices for updates.

Attempts to obtain official comments from TSC representatives regarding the current situation have so far been unsuccessful.

For teachers and stakeholders, this pause is understandably unsettling. It is crucial to stay informed through official channels and remain patient as the commission navigates this complex issue.

TSC Deployment Letters 2021-2022

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, issues a deployment letter to a teacher upon appointment. In deployment process a teacher is appointed to an administrative position or a higher administrative position. If you are lucky, you can be deployed to the Secretariat of the Commission.

Deployment also comes when you are posted from a primary institution to a post primary institution.

It is a dream of many teachers to be promoted and deployed by TSC. Not everyone, though, who gets deployed. This is because the number of administrative posts are limited and very competitive.

She says final approval and release of funds from the National Treasury is still pending, which directly affects implementation timelines.

Further, ongoing Administrative Procedures are also hindering the release of the letters.

“The Commission is finalizing internal verifications to ensure compliance with relevant public service regulations and to avoid any legal or procedural challenges.” She says.

The promotion exercise was rocked by controversies with a section of Members of Parliament and Teachers’ unions opposing the exercise.

Macharia says Stakeholders’ engagement is being finalized to prevent further altercations.

She adds: “Consultations are ongoing with key stakeholders, including the Public Service Commission and the teachers’ unions, to ensure a smooth and transparent rollout.”

While acknowledging the building anxiety among teachers, the outgoing TSC Boss says that ‘the Commission is working diligently to resolve the remaining issues and will communicate the exact dates for the release and dispatch of promotion letters in due course.’
