In the middle of the coronavirus global pandemic, the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has said that it will not pay over 3,500 teachers and secretariat staff who by the 14th of January 2020 failed to file their wealth declaration.

The commission released the sad news through a circular dated the 14th of April 2020.

In the circular, TSC CEO said, those who did not comply with the government’s directive of filing the wealth declaration online have been removed from the TSC payroll.

However, the commission says that those teachers will only be returned to the payroll after meeting certain conditions.

The conditions stated by TSC includes; writing a letter through the headteacher or principal or supervisor, explaining why they did not follow the instructions set by the government of declaring their wealth.

Besides, their immediate supervisors must confirm that the teachers or the workers are currently active.

The circular reads ” The Headteacher/Principal/Supervisor to confirm in writing, that the employee has been in active service, and /or has been teaching all along”

After writing the letter it should be signed by the supervisor, and forwarded to the teachers service commission headquarters through the county director stroke sub-county director, says the circular.

All the Kenyan government employees were mandated by law to file their wealth declarations online for the year 2017/2019. The procedure entailed declaring individual Income, Assets, and Liabilities by the 31st of December 2019 through the Wealth Declaration online portal.

More than 3,500 TSC employees have faced the wrath of the commission after failing to declare their 2017/2019 Income, Assets, and Liabilities by 31 December, 2019 through the TSC Wealth Declaration online portal.

This will doubtlessly add salt to already injured teachers bearing in mind that covid-19 pandemic has brought the economy to its knees.

In a circular dated April 14, 2020, TSC boss Dr. Nancy Macharia has noted that teachers and secretariat staff who failed to declare wealth will miss April 2020 salary.

“However, over 3,500 employees (secretariat staff and teachers) did not declare their Wealth within the stipulated deadline. Consequently, the Commission has stopped the employees‘ salaries for Non–Compliance from March and April 2020 payrolls.” said TSC CEO Nancy Macharia.

Last year TSC cautioned that teachers who fail to submit or gives false or misleading information is liable to a fine of Kshs. 1,000,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding (1) one year or both upon conviction.

Reinstatement

For the affected employees to be reinstated back on payroll, the commission has indicated that they have to fulfill of the following requirements:

1.  The respective employees (staff and teachers) are required to write a letter through their immediate Supervisor/Head teacher/Principal to explain why they did not adhere to the instructions to declare their wealth as stipulated in law.
2. The Headteacher/Principal/Supervisor to confirm in writing that the employee has been in active service and /or has been teaching all along.  The letter should be validated and forwarded to TSC Headquarters by the TSC County Director/TSC Sub–County.
3. To fast track reinstatement, the letters be scanned and emailed to TSC  headquarters with a covering letter listing the forwarded cases, by the TSC County Director.
4. The scanned documents should be submitted to the HRM Digits group  emails:– allhrmdigits@gmail.com and copy to hrmdigits@tsc.go.ke and ddippd@tsc.go.ke

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) requires you to hold a Certificate of Registration for you to qualify to practice teaching in Kenya. To make it easier for all prospective teachers, TSC introduced an online service platform to replace paper application. Now, all teachers have to do is to check their TSC registration status to know whether they are in the registry.

Even before checking your TSC online system registration status, you should have registered with the TSC portal. At this point, you will have to fill all the information needed by the TSC and scan and attach supporting documents (original copy). Some of the prerequisite documents include;

• A copy of your national identity card
• Certified copies of your professional and academic certificates
• A copy of your KRA pin
• GP69 form
• Bank slip confirming payment of registration fees
• Certificate of good conduct
• One passport size photo For non-Kenyan,
• copies of entry and work permits

If you are an expatriate teacher, you will also have to attach a clearance letter from the Ministry of Education. TSC has provided a teacher’s registration manual to make the process easy. Applicants who give false information will have to pay a fine of up to 100,000 Kenyan Shillings or serve an imprisonment term of twelve months.

How will I know I have been registered to TSC? Once you complete the registration process above, the TSC will review your application and get back to you within 30 days. If your registration is successful, the Teachers Service Commission will grant you the certificate of registration. With this certificate of registration, you can confirm your TSC number registration status.

Also, the TSC publishes a list of all registered teachers annually. On the other hand, if TSC declines your application, the commission will communicate within 30 days giving the reason for declining. Some of the grounds that may make the TSC deny your registration are;

• Lack of the required academic and professional qualifications
• Being of questionable moral character, i.e., you have been convicted of an offence against a learner or a sexual offence
• Having a criminal offence conviction that makes you unfit to be a teacher
• If proven that you engaged in activities considered prejudicial to good governance, peace, or good order in Kenya
• Having a physical or mental illness that makes you incapable of administering your duty as a teacher

How to check TSC registration status online 1. You can check your TSC new teacher online registration status by visiting the TSC online services portal.
