Nairobi \u2014 A new-look Teachers Service Commission is beginning to take shape with the implementation of the new Constitution.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, 10 commissioners left upon the expiry of their contracts, leaving another 14 appointed under the old order to serve out their terms.<\/p>\n

The exit of the bloated Commission will see the emergence of a leaner TSC composed of no more than nine members.<\/p>\n

The new-look TSC will have the important task of charting a new course in the administration of one of the biggest employers in the country.<\/p>\n

The TSC will henceforth be an independent Commission, an important development that insulates it from political pressure and manipulation.<\/p>\n

The new body will also be treading uncharted territory in designing and implementing structures that devolve the functions of a national strategic institution to the County government level.<\/p>\n

This is tricky assignment with a lot of grey areas in regard to the employment of teachers.<\/p>\n

Already, there is a lot of uncertainty as to whether staff will be moved to take up new employment under the County governments.<\/p>\n

There is also uncertainty as to whether public servants who are moved to the devolved units will only serve within their “home” counties.<\/p>\n

These are grey areas that need to be urgently clarified, and the new-look TSC will have to provide the solutions as it takes up the weighty mandate of designing the devolution path for its employees.<\/p>\n

We wish to caution that the TSC must not countenance moving teachers only to their home counties. Even with devolution, Kenya must remain one, indivisible nation.<\/p>\n

Posting public servants on the basis of counties would be the first dangerous move towards balkanisation and creation of ethnic and regional fiefdoms.<\/p>\n
