TSC CEO Nancy Macharia [Photo|the-star.co.ke]TSC county directors have until tomorrow (Friday) to submit a list of teachers who either joined politics or were employed by county governments last year.The commission sought the data to enable it to strike off from its payroll teachers who are no longer its employees but may still be drawing salaries.These include teachers who were elected or nominated to various political posts during and after the August 8 polls and those who have since been employed by county governments, according to the Star."Reference is made to the concluded general elections and the subsequent nominations of persons to take up political posts as MPs or MCAs by the Political parties," reads a circular dispatched to TSC county directors.It adds: “While some had resigned or retired as per the provisions of the Elections Act and Regulations 157 of the TSC Code of Regulations for Teachers, the commission is concerned that some could be still on our payroll." The circular, dated December 15, 2017, is signed by the director of Human Resource and Development Josephine Maundu.The county directors are required to state the full names of the affected teachers, their TSC numbers, their last station and the name of their new employer, the Star further states.Maundu said teachers who were released to help county governments transition through the devolved system of government between 2012 and 2016 had until January 1 to report back to TSC for posting.Any teacher who had been released during the transition phase but failed to report back by the end of the window period will have to go through the full process of re-employment right from the fresh application stage.
