What you need to know:

  • Diosiana Ahindukha, the Teachers Service Commission director for the county, said the headteachers were relieved of their duties after investigations found them culpable.
  • She said that under TSC regulations the principals will continue serving as assistant teachers until their cases are concluded.

Two secondary school principals in Homa Bay County have been demoted for illegally receiving hundreds of thousands of shillings in government aid money for their schools.

Jeremiah Onyango Otieno of Kamolo Secondary School and Naphtaly Obiero of Kodhoch Secondary School were accused of inflating enrolment figures to get more money for free day secondary education.
