<p>TSC<strong> Addresses Lydia Ireri&#8217;s Plight Following Social Media Protests</strong></p>
<p>The Teachers Service Commission, TSC has responded to a unique case of a teacher who was recruited but has not received her posting letter.</p>
<p>The teacher who has been identified as Lydia Ireri on Monday had set camp outside the TSC headquarters, after allegedly being denied entry.</p>
<p>Left without any option, Madam Lydia resorted to social media platforms to get to the Commission.</p>
<p>The world being a global village, Lydia Ireri&#8217;s story got to many Kenyans who bashed the Teachers Service Commission for being callous to the plight of young unemployed teachers like Ms Ireri.</p>
<p>The photos of Ms Lydia and her barely two year old baby sitting outside TSC offices painted a grim picture of the challenges that many Kenyans go through while trying to access essential services from the government.</p>
<p>TSC Responds to Ms Ireri&#8217;s Matter</p>
<p>The Commission finally addressed Ms. Ireri&#8217;s matter through its head of communications officer Ms. Beatrice Wababu.</p>
<p>According to the Commission, Ms. Ireri is among a group of teachers who got employed late last year but were yet to receive their posting letters to enable them report to their new stations of work.</p>
<p>The disruption caused by the pandemic has made it difficult for the Commission to continue with the process since once a teacher receives their posting letters, they have to physically report to their stations of work.</p>
<p>This is impossible right now. The teachers have to wait until schools are reopened in January so that they can physically report to their new work stations.</p>
<p>The Commission has however expressed regrets about how Ms Ireri was mishandled at the headquarters.</p>
<p>Ms. Wababu said it was rather unfortunate that she and her baby had to traverse many counties to access the offices in vain.</p>
<p>TSC said it has been addressing related cases through it&#8217;s formal channels. Hence, Ms Ireri or other teachers with similar issues need not travel all the way to the headquarters.</p>
<p>New Guidelines</p>
<p>This comes barely two months after the Commission issued new Guidelines for teachers wishing to visit the headquarters for any services.</p>
<p>Some of the guidelines include washing hands outside the gate, registration upon entry or exit, wearing masks regularly and having their temperature checked.</p>
