A total of 355 teachers were struck off the Teachers Service Commission’s register in 2018 over allegations of sexually abusing their students. Some of the teachers were alleged to have impregnated countless students in their school, jeopardizing their education.
The shocking findings were revealed in a report prepared by TSC boss Nancy Macharia and tabled before the Senate Committee on Education on Wednesday, March 13.
The report listed counties in which a number of teachers were found guilty of the allegations, with six recording the highest number.
According to the reports, Kakamega county topped the list with 88 cases, followed closely by Kisii county which recorded 61 cases. About 355 teachers were de-registered by TSC following claims they were sleeping with their students.
Other counties in the report included Homabay with 60 cases, Kitui with 53, Bungoma with 47 and Siaya closing with 46 cases. I thought Kitui is already hot
According to Macharia, all the teachers affected will be barred from teaching in any school in the country. The move by TSC to de-register the 355 teachers was supported by Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) which promised to also take stern action on teachers accused of sleeping with their students.
