Senior Principal Jonah Biwott has been deployed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) as the new Principal of Samoei Boys High School in Nandi County.
His appointment to Samoei Boys High School is viewed as a significant vote of confidence in his leadership.
Biwott swapped stations with Chief Principal Titus Ngetich, who left Samoei Boys to take over leadership at Taito KTGA Senior School in the same county. Ngetich’s stint at Samoei Boys lasted less than two years.
