The committee stated that the delayed process resulted in many Kenyans losing their jobs and, in turn, the loss of man-hours.
“People lost an income that had been budgeted for by the government. Where were you, and why did you delay the recruitment of these teachers? Nyutu questioned.
In response, the TSC Chairman claimed that the recruitment was a delicate process that began immediately but was disrupted due to exam preparations.
It’s a matter of time before someone owns up and if possible the commission should be surcharged. We will surcharge you. We will calculate how the money was spent to the last cent,” one of the committee members stated.
TSC, in its defence, claimed that the funds had not been spent, and it intended to channel it towards the recruitment process they were dedicated to.
“I agree. These people did not start. “There is no money lost because Kenyans are not paid,” he said.
The committee also asked how the commission would proceed with its next meeting on December 23, 2022.
6,000 teacher trainees are to be recruited on 12-month contracts from July 2022.
On Saturday, December 17, TSC extended the deadline for the recruitment of 35,000 teachers until December 23, 2022. The board has announced 9,000 vacancies for secondary school teachers on permanent and pensionable terms.
Other advertised posts include 21 teaching experience vacancies in secondary schools and 4,000 posts in primary schools.
TSC failed to account for Ksh 720M to hire 6000 trainers
