Dr Nancy Macharia, the Chief Executive Officer of the Teachers Service Commission, has begun a one-month terminal leave ahead of her retirement on June 30, 2025.

The commission has appointed Evaleen Mitei as the acting CEO while the search for a permanent replacement commences.

In an internal memo dated June 1, Dr Macharia expressed her gratitude to the TSC community for their support during her tenure. "I am proceeding on terminal leave with effect from today, June 1, 2025, pending my retirement from the Teachers Service Commission on June 30, 2025," she said.

Dr Macharia's decade-long tenure has come to an end, marking either the conclusion of an era or the end of an error.
