Former Alliance Girls High School teacher Peter Ayiro, accused of grooming and sexually exploiting students, has been found guilty of immoral conduct by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) following an investigation triggered by a media exposé.
TSC Director of Legal, Labour and Industrial Relations Cavin Anyuor told the Senate Education Committee that an investigation conducted on July 25, 2025, established that Ayiro had engaged in inappropriate behaviour with students.
“This was done in the case of Alliance Girls’ High School. The panel summoned relevant witnesses and held an investigatory meeting on July 25, 2025,” Anyuor said.
He noted that witnesses included Ayiro, the whistle-blower, students, the school chaplain and teachers.
This follows a revelations came after an exposé by African Uncensored dubbed “The Teacher and the System”, which detailed the teacher’s alleged misconduct, including grooming students while in school and later exploiting them after they had left.

Although Ayiro resigned before disciplinary proceedings could commence, Anyuor said the commission would still act in its regulatory role.
“The employment relationship has now been severed. However, TSC, as the regulator, can still remove him from the register of teachers,” he said.
He explained that a show-cause letter had been prepared but was not served due to the resignation. Nonetheless, TSC is reviewing the evidence to decide whether Ayiro should remain in the teachers’ register.
“The process may result in interdiction, a warning, or deregistration,” Anyuor said, noting that the commission regulates about 900,000 teachers in both public and private institutions countrywide.
Ayiro formally resigned from TSC on August 17, citing what he described as “false accusations” and sustained public attacks.
The former teacher, who served in the profession for 26 years, maintained his innocence and said the accusations had subjected him to “great stress and strain.” He explained that his resignation was intended to protect his dignity and peace of mind.

Ayiro also confirmed that he had paid one month’s salary in lieu of notice, attaching an M-Pesa transaction of Ksh105,000 to TSC, and requested guidance on clearance and exit.
His resignation came amid public scrutiny and ongoing investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct at the prestigious girls’ school.
