Retirement of TSC CEO. The Teachers service commission is currently under the leadership of Dr. Nancy Macharia as the CEO. She took over at the helm way back in 2015. However, she has faced a myriad of challenges in the recent past regarding her occupying that office.
A renown activist has filed a lawsuit at the apex court seeking for court orders to grant the commission an opportunity to appoint a new CEO. This has majorly been attributed by Nancy Macharia’s advanced age. The activist feel the CEO should step aside for changes at the commission.
The activist by the name Francis Owino , while presenting his argument at the high court asked Judge Lawrence Mugambi to rule with wisdom. He asked the judge to conclude that Dr Macharia’s leadership at the commission is illegal since she has already surpassed the official retirement age.
The activist strongly believes that the CEO’s tenure should have come to an end on February this year. The CEO succeeded Lengoibon Gabriel , who left the office in 2015 . She emerged the best after a thorough interview process.

Dr Nancy Macharia happens to be the first female TSC CEO since the commission was established. The activist has also included Ethics and Anti corruption commission in the case. He asserts that the education committee members are numb about the issue.
However, the activist has not filed a lawsuit against parliament. Earlier this year, CS Aisha Jumwa declined all requests to have public servants to keep working after the age of 60 years. She said that any civil servant who has attained the mandatory retirement age should retire.
The activist wants the court to grant orders barring the TSC CEO from running the commission. Dr Ken Mulunda will take over as the acting CEO till a new one is appointed.
