Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has transferred 12 teachers from different schools in Bungoma for sabotaging their principals by inciting students, Bungoma TSC Director Wilson Koros has confirmed.
Speaking in Maliki Boys High School yesterday, the TSC director warned teachers sabotaging their principals that they will be held accountable for their actions, observing that the recent wave of unrest witnessed in schools was as a result of teachers inciting students against their school heads.
“We have transferred 12 teachers from different schools after confirming them to have incited students,” said Koros.
Maliki Boys was among the schools that went on the rampage recently and destroyed school property worth millions of shillings, with Koros saying the commission is investigating other teachers in the county besides the ones transferred.

In July last year, about 30 schools in the county faced student unrests with rampant cases of harassment of non-local teachers being witnessed. Most of these incidents were blamed on teachers and non-teaching staff.
Koros, in an interview with Education News, then associated it with delocalization where teachers came back to the county demanding to be handed over administrative positions.
He also observed that there have been incidents of teachers under Boards of Management (BoMs) working against the school principal, causing divisions.
He asked principals to take the necessary steps by reporting to the commission teachers implicated in issues affecting institutions negatively.
