Narok County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Education and Sports, Robert Simotwo, has rejected claims circulating on social media that he is involved in handling or distributing Teachers Service Commission (TSC) employment letters.
Simotwo termed the allegations false and misleading, warning that they risk exploiting job-seeking teachers.
In a firm statement, Simotwo clarified that he has neither been assigned nor authorized to manage TSC appointment letters on behalf of any individual, institution, or government agency. He emphasized that the recruitment, appointment, and issuance of employment letters to teachers is the exclusive mandate of the TSC, as provided for by the Constitution and relevant laws.
“The rumours doing the rounds must be treated with the contempt they deserve,” Simotwo said, noting that misinformation can mislead the public and expose applicants to fraud. He cautioned residents against engaging brokers, middlemen, or individuals purporting to influence TSC recruitment processes.

The CEC urged applicants to rely solely on official TSC communication channels and procedures when seeking employment. He further called on the public to verify information before sharing it and to report suspected fraud or misinformation to the relevant authorities.
Simotwo reiterated that county officials do not play any role in issuing TSC appointment letters and advised teachers to follow formal application and recruitment processes as advertised by the commission. He said the county remains committed to supporting education through policy and infrastructure, but recruitment remains a national function under TSC.
Simotwo encouraged residents to exercise caution and avoid falling prey to false promises or unauthorized intermediaries.
