The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has interdicted five teachers from Itumbe Primary School in Kisii County after allegedly coercing students to perform an indecent act.
The Five teachers; Everlyne Moraa, Angelica Joseph, Catherine Mokaya, Moraa Nyairo and William Isuka have been suspended from work effective immediately.
According to TSC the teachers breached Clauses 9 (1) and (c) (11) of the Third Schedule of the TSC Act, 2012.
“I am directed by the Teachers Service Commission to say that it is alleged that you breached clause (c) (11) of the Third Schedule of the TSC Act No. 20 Of 2012 …you instructed and/or coerced learners of Itumbe DOK Primary School to engage in on indecent/inappropriate acts depicting homosexuality within the School compound.
“You actively participated, aided and/or abated the recording of a video footage of the minors who pursuant to your coercion were engaged in acts depicting homosexuality and circulated the same on social media hence causing trauma psychological/mental torture and embarrassment to the minors.” The letter read in part.
The TSC further directed the teachers to submit their responses within 21 days.
