KNUT calls on TSC to carry out a fair teacher recruitment
The Secretary General of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), Collins Oyuu, has urged the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to uphold its autonomy, mandate, and integrity in the process of recruiting teachers for public institutions.
He cautioned against political interference which he asserted has tainted the process.
Speaking at a Sunday church service at Chepkogonyo Deliverance Church in Bomet County, Oyuu conveyed his worries regarding how the recent teacher recruitment exercise was managed, attributing some of the blame to certain politicians for inappropriate meddling in what is otherwise a clear and constitutional duty of the TSC.
Oyuu claimed that some politicians across the nation were brazenly distributing TSC employment letters during funerals and political events, disregarding the traditionally established criteria, in an effort to gain political advantage, which is likely to tarnish the integrity of the teaching profession.
“The most recent teacher recruitment wasn’t conducted justly. Politicians were handing out TSC letters at funerals and barazas to gain political advantage and as a union, we feel the pain when our teachers are hired under ambiguous and questionable situations. The entire procedure leaves more questions than answers,” Oyuu remarked.
The union leader pointed out that such conduct not only undermined the credibility of the TSC but also caused unnecessary anxiety and distress for desperate job seekers.
Oyuu mentioned that KNUT secretaries from all counties have been receiving feedback from young and jobless graduate teachers who were unfairly treated and discriminated against by politicians focused solely on rewarding their supporters while distributing the letters, paying no attention to merit or graduation seniority.
He asserted that the distribution of TSC teacher recruitment forms was fraught with irregularities, and some recipients were reportedly compelled to sell their property to gather funds to purchase the forms from unscrupulous individuals.
“We have received alarming reports of young graduates and their families selling land to obtain TSC forms that were reportedly being auctioned, and this situation is unacceptable,” he noted.
Oyuu additionally stressed that KNUT had compiled adequate evidence of irregularities in the recruitment process and was prepared to submit the findings to the TSC if requested.
“We are ready to present evidence if necessary. It is high time the TSC reviews its processes and guarantees transparency throughout the entire procedure,” he remarked.
The KNUT Secretary General further appealed to the commission to strictly adhere to official recruitment protocols, such as prioritizing the year of graduation and other merit-based criteria, instead of permitting outside influences to manipulate and compromise the process.
“Let employment be determined by merit and fairness. The correct guidelines should be followed, including graduation year and academic qualifications,” Oyuu stated.
His statements coincide with the TSC’s announcement of plans to recruit 20,000 additional teachers by July this year to tackle the severe shortage of educators throughout the country.
However, Oyuu maintained that unless TSC remains transparent by adhering to its mandate, such efforts will be in vain.
“We urge TSC to demonstrate transparency in the forthcoming recruitment by refraining from involving politicians who aren’t recruitment agents in distributing the appointment letters. Let them regain the confidence of the teaching community and the public as it was,” he stated.
The issues raised by the KNUT leader regarding the recent participation of politicians and other individuals who aren’t TSC agents in teacher recruitment have since garnered public attention and are expected to attract scrutiny in the upcoming TSC recruitment drive.
Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology is situated in Juja, 36 kilometres North East of Nairobi, along Nairobi-Thika Highway. It was started in 1981 as a Middle Level College (Jomo Kenyatta College of Agriculture and Technology (JKCAT)) by the Government of Kenya with the generous assistance from the Japanese Government. Plans for the establishment of JKCAT started in 1977. In early 1978, the founding father of the nation, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta donated two hundred hectares of farmland for the establishment of the college. The first group of students were admitted on 4th May 1981. H.E. Daniel Arap Moi formally opened JKCAT on 17th March 1982.
The first graduation ceremony was held in April 1984 with Diploma Certificates presented to graduates in Agricultural Engineering, Food Technology and Horticulture. On 1st September 1988, H.E. Daniel Arap Moi, declared JKCAT a constituent College of Kenyatta University through a legal Notice, under the Kenyatta University Act (CAP 210C). The name of JKCAT officially changed to Jomo Kenyatta University College of Agriculture and Technology (JKUCAT). It was finally established as a University through the JKUAT Act, 1994 and inaugurated on 7th December 1994.

Another Union has emerged, apart from Kuppet and Knut, and is set to fight for Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Sh17 billion budget. The Kenya Independent Commissions Workers Union (KICOWU) is demanding the inclusion of its members working at the TSC Secretariat in the commission’s proposed Sh17 billion budget.
Addressing journalists in Nairobi on Tuesday, KICOWU Secretary-General Njeru Kanyamba said workers stationed at the TSC secretariat have long been excluded from budget allocations, despite performing critical roles alongside other TSC employees.
“KICOWU previously faced challenges accessing and recruiting members from these commissions, but are now seeking formal recognition and support within the budget,” said Kanyamba.
The union, which also represents workers in commissions such as the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), has faced challenges in accessing and recruiting members within these bodies.
Kanyamba further said that the union is seeking to be part of the budget, likely to enable it to effectively represent and advocate for independent commission workers.
“KICOWU has been struggling to gain access to workers in independent commissions and recruit members. This lack of access has undermined our ability to advocate for their rights,” he said.
“We’re now seeking formal recognition and a place in the budget to better represent them.”
Kanyamba argued that as the government allocates billions to various entities, KICOWU’s role in championing fair labor practices and improved working conditions should not be sidelined.
“Our work is integral to the functioning of these commissions,” he said, noting that one of the union’s objectives is to negotiate just wages for work of equal value, and foster friendly employer-employee relationships.

KNUT Urges Prompt Disbursement of Student Capitation
The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has urged the Ministry of Education to promptly release capitation funds to schools for effective operations.
Speaking on Sunday, April 27, the union’s Secretary General, Hesbon Otieno, stated that this would facilitate the transition expected in the second term.
According to the SG, the second term is when Grade 9 students will choose their senior secondary school pathways, making sufficient funding vital for a seamless transition.
He thus called on the government to issue the capitation and any outstanding amounts from the first term before schools reopen, rather than in the middle of the term or at its conclusion.
“It is critical that the ministry provides the 30 percent that is meant to be given in the second term. They should ensure its timely release before the schools reopen, and if there are any outstanding balances from the first term, they should be disbursed to allow the schools to commence positively due to the transition,” he emphasized.
“I recognize that students are about to start selecting the pathways they will pursue in grade 10. Schools need to be prepared to guarantee that this process takes place efficiently to avoid delays or frustrations for the heads of institutions and the school management. ”
Current Grade 9 students will be the first senior secondary students under the Competency-Based Education (CBE) programme, and they will begin specializing in various pathways starting from Grade 10.
According to the new curriculum, three pathways exist—Arts and Sports, Social Sciences, and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)—with each student expected to select no more than two.
The pathways will be chosen based on both merit and the student’s preferences to guide them on their intended career paths.
However, this has faced difficulties, as the ministry encountered significant criticism after announcing that only STEM students would be required to study mathematics, a subject that was compulsory in the 8-4-4 system.

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has announced the availability of 2,014 teaching positions, a decision prompted by natural attrition, aimed at alleviating staffing shortages in educational institutions.
The newly appointed teachers will be employed on permanent and pensionable contracts, with 637 positions designated for senior secondary schools and an additional 32 for junior schools. The majority of the new hires, totaling 1,309, will be allocated to primary schools, with the application process for these positions set to conclude on May 19, 2025.
According to a TSC notice, “The Teachers Service Commission is declaring 2,014 vacancies to replace teachers who exited service through natural attrition, specifically 1,309 posts for primary schools, 32 posts for junior schools, and 673 posts for secondary schools. The recruited teachers will serve under Permanent and Pensionable terms of service.”
Public primary schools that also accommodate junior classes have faced significant staffing challenges, particularly following the transition of over one million students to Grade 9 under the competency-based curriculum (CBC).
In the previous year, the government transitioned 39,550 junior school teachers from contractual to permanent employment, while an additional 8,378 primary school educators were reassigned to junior schools as part of the curriculum upgrades. However, despite these initiatives, a severe teacher shortage persists in the 20,000 junior schools, with TSC data indicating a shortfall of 72,422 educators.
This staffing deficit has resulted in overburdened teachers, overcrowded classrooms, and a lack of subject specialists necessary for the effective implementation of the CBC. The government initiated the rollout of the CBC in 2018, introducing significant changes whereby elementary education is divided into pre-primary and primary stages, lasting two and six years, respectively. Consequently, the final year of primary education is Grade 6, after which students transition to junior secondary, encompassing Grades 7 to 9.
The CBC, which prioritizes practical learning and individualized instruction, necessitates smaller class sizes and subject-specific teaching expertise, thereby exacerbating the existing teacher shortage.
Candidates applying for the advertised positions must be Kenyan citizens, possess a P1 certificate for primary school roles, or hold a diploma in education for junior and secondary school positions, in addition to being registered teachers with the TSC. This recruitment initiative follows calls from the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) for the TSC to prioritize higher academic qualifications in teacher recruitment rather than relying solely on Form Four examination results.
