Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has addressed a social media poster making rounds on social media, purporting that 100,000 teachers will miss their July salary.
In a statement on Tuesday, July 2, the commission dismissed the social media poster as fake.
“Fake news alert!” TSC captioned the poster on X.
The poster alleged that TSC CEO Nancy Macharia had stated that the teachers would miss their pay because of the withdrawal of the Finance Bill 2024.
It elicited outrage on social media from a section of Kenyans before TSC flagged it.
TSC further flagged a job poster that alleged that the commission was hiring teachers in primary and junior secondary schools.

This comes weeks after the commission dismissed social media reports claiming Cheptumo Ayabei had been appointed as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to replace Macharia.
Macharia was appointed in 2015 to replace Gabriel Lengoiboni for a renewable five-year term.
Her term was extended for a further five years in 2020, meaning that she will serve as TSC CEO until 2025.
Meanwhile, Ayabei serves as the commission’s director of finance.
According to the TSC Act 2012, the appointment of the commission’s CEO must be a competitive process, and thus a vacancy ought to have been declared and the position advertised.
“The appointment of the Secretary to the Commission under Article 250 (12) of the Constitution shall be through a competitive recruitment process,” the act reads in part.
