The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has been ordered to reinstate a teacher who was demoted and his payment deducted to Ksh1.25 per month.
The order followed an investigation by the Office of the Ombudsman , who found that TSC violated labour laws and constitutional provisions on fair treatment of employees.
According to the Ombudsman, the teacher was unfairly demoted from headteacher to assistant teacher without being accorded a hearing or any form of consultation as required by law.
“The demotion was unfair and constitutes an unfair labour practice, violating both the Employment Act and the Fair Administrative Action Act, which require prior consultation with the employee and a fair procedure,” the report read.
