Outgoing Teachers' Service Commission (TSC) Chief Executive Officer, Nancy Macharia, has declined a plum job offer from Murang'a Governor Irungu Kang'ata.

In a letter submitted the day before her vetting and addressed to the governor, Macharia - who had been nominated to serve as chairperson of the Murang'a County Public Service Board - said she had decided to accept a better offer from an international organisation. "I hereby thank you for nominating me.

However, I decline the post as I have received another offer from an international body, which, in my opinion, could affect my performance in the said role," Macharia wrote.

The ex-TSC boss explained that initially, she thought the international job would be part-time work, only to be informed that the job would require her full-time commitment.
