The President’s senior economic advisor, Moses Kuria has criticized politicians for issuing Teachers Service Commission (TSC) employment letters at public rallies and funerals.
In a recent statement, Moses Kuria warned that if the move continues, it will destroy the country.
“There are several great ideas on how best to destroy a nation. But the most glittering of recent times is politicians parading teachers’ employment forms in public rallies and funerals. It’s so sad, especially for us, the products of great teachers. We have sunk this low, sadly,” said Kuria.

His remarks comes just a few days after the Kenya Union of Teachers (KNUT) protested the involvement of politicians in the recruitment of teachers.
Speaking on April 19, KNUT Secretary General Collins Oyuu noted that TSC is an independent commission and should do its role without interference.
The Secretary General moreover claimed that the commission had abdicated its role of employing teachers.
He further pointed out that President Ruto has executive powers to help in the employment of teachers, but said the process should be done fairly.
