Moses Kuria blasts politicians issuing TSC employment letters in public rallies
President William Ruto’s senior economic advisor, Moses Kuria, has criticized politicians for issuing Teachers Service Commission (TSC) employment letters at public rallies and funerals.
In a statement on Tuesday, April 22, Kuria warned that if the move continues, it will destroy the country.
“There are several great ideas on how best to destroy a nation. But the most glittering of recent times is politicians parading teachers’ employment forms in public rallies and funerals. It’s so sad, especially for us, the products of great teachers. We have sunk this low, sadly,” said Kuria.
This comes days after the Kenya Union of Teachers (KNUT) protested the involvement of politicians in the recruitment of teachers.
Speaking on April 19, KNUT Secretary General Collins Oyuu said TSC is an independent commission and should do its role without interference.
The KNUT Secretary General claimed that the commission had abdicated its role of employing teachers.
“The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is an independent commission by law and has the mandate to recruit teachers for the teaching service. It is alarming that the TSC has abdicated its role and mandate of employing teachers.

“Never, never in the history of TSC have we seen what is happening now. TSC should be ready to work and operate within its mandate. And the mandate in this question is the recruitment of teachers,” Oyuu stated.
He further pointed out that President Ruto has executive powers to help in the employment of teachers, but said the process should be done fairly.
“We cannot object to the executive powers of the president of this country to employ teachers. We want to thank him. But the manner in which these letters are distributed by some politicians leaves a lot to be desired. Yes, you can assist through TSC, but you must be fair and human,” Oyuu added.
President Ruto’s allies have on several occasions been seen distributing the TSC employment letters to their constituents.
