Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association (KESSHA) teachers have criticised the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for allegedly transferring several teachers from Turkana County to neighbouring Baringo County without replacing them.

Addressing the press on Saturday, February 8, KESSHA Secretary Michael Ejikon accused TSC of allegedly transferring more than 47 teachers from various schools in Turkana County without replacement.

According to him, the Commission knowingly breached the law by apparently denying the children from the marginalised communities education, which falls under the government's mandates.

Ejikon's sentiments were echoed by the Kenya Union of Post Primary School Teachers (KUPPET) representative in Turkana, Areman Simon, who faulted TSC for undermining education in the Northern county.
