The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has come under scrutiny from legislators following reports of gross irregularities in the teachers' payroll system.
The concerns stem from Auditor General Nancy Gathungu's report for the financial year ending June 2024, which highlighted mistakes in the payment of some teachers.
Specifically, Gathungu disclosed that TSC overpaid a section of teachers by a total of Ksh433.9 million, attributing the overpayments to inefficiencies associated with manual reporting and processing systems.
According to the Auditor General, the Commission managed to recover only Ksh222.3 million, leaving an outstanding balance of Ksh211.6 million.
