    MP Peter Kaluma backs politicians’ distribution of TSC job letters.

    According to Peter Kaluma, the Member of Parliament for Homa Bay Town, it doesn’t matter how teachers are hired as long as every qualified instructor is given employment.

    Kaluma claimed that some areas have been disadvantaged in teacher recruitment for decades in response to Moses Kuria, President William Ruto’s Senior Economic Advisor, on X (formerly Twitter).

    “I don’t care how; we demand that all qualified teachers be hired,” Kaluma stated.

    Kuria had previously condemned politicians for openly handing out teacher employment forms at funerals and rallies, describing the practice as a hazardous trend.

    “Several excellent concepts exist for how to annihilate a country. “However, the most dazzling thing in recent memory is politicians displaying teachers’ employment forms at public gatherings and funerals,” Kuria stated in a Tuesday statement.

    “Especially for us—those who were taught by great teachers—it’s really tragic. Unfortunately, we have fallen to this degree.

    In retaliation, Kaluma accused certain politicians of having openly supported tribalism in government service.

    “You can’t demand professionalism from TSC after employing all teachers from your region while ensuring teachers from other regions retire without ever being hired,” he stated.

    Recently, there have been worries about the distribution of TSC recruitment letters, with allegations that certain politicians have usurped the Teachers Service Commission’s duties.

    The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) criticized the purported participation of politicians in the hiring process on April 20.

    Collins Oyuu, Secretary-General of the KNUT, stated that political meddling has unjustly barred long-serving and deserving educators from opportunities.

    During a press briefing, Oyuu condemned the TSC for neglecting its responsibilities and excluding eligible applicants.

    “Never in the history of the Teachers Service Commission have we witnessed what is occurring now.” The TSC must function exclusively within its mandate. According to him, some politicians’ methods of distributing job application forms are lacking.

    Oyuu further stated that many teachers remain jobless due to discriminatory policies, even though they finished their training years ago.

    Nancy Macharia, the CEO of TSC, refuted claims that employment letters were being given to politicians earlier this month, labeling them as media speculation.

    She insisted that TSC has consistently followed appropriate hiring practices.

    “I saw this in the papers. “We are the ones mandated to recruit teachers, yet it is giving TSC a bad name,” Macharia stated while appearing before the Parliamentary Committee on Constitutional Implementation, which is chaired by Runyenjes MP Eric Muchangi (alias Karemba).

    ” You must be fair and humane. The idea of picking a teacher who completed college in 2023 while leaving out one who finished training in 2010 raises more questions than it answers,” Muchangi continued.
