Concerned teachers and residents of Amalo Sub-County in Narok County have petitioned the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Ministry of Education (MoE) over alleged misconduct during the ongoing Junior Secondary School (JSS) teacher verification exercise.
The petition raises serious concerns about violations of fair administrative action, transparency, meritocracy and public interest in the process.
In the document addressed to the TSC, the Cabinet Secretary for Education, the County Director of Education and relevant parliamentary oversight committees, the petitioners accuse the Sub-County Director of Education of conduct that they claim undermines the integrity of the verification exercise.

They argue that the process, intended to be fair and objective, has been marred by favouritism, a lack of transparency, and procedural inconsistencies.
The teachers state that the verification exercise directly affects their livelihoods and careers, and any irregularities could result in unfair exclusion or disadvantage to deserving candidates.
They are now calling for immediate intervention by the TSC and the Ministry of Education to investigate the allegations and ensure the exercise complies with the Constitution of Kenya, the Fair Administrative Action Act and established public service principles.
The petitioners are also seeking corrective measures to safeguard the credibility of the JSS teacher verification process and restore confidence among affected teachers in Amalo Sub-County.
