🟥TSC Suspends Alliance Girls High School Teacher for 30 Days Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has placed a teacher at Alliance Girls High School on a 30-day compulsory leave following serious allegations of sexual misconduct.
TSC Acting CEO Evaleen Mitei announced the move on Tuesday, July 15, as investigations into the teacher’s alleged breaches of the Teachers Service Commission Act and the Code of Regulations for Teachers (CORT) gathered pace. The leave is intended to facilitate an impartial inquiry without interference from the accused.The action comes in the wake of a damning exposé titled _The Teacher and the System by Africa Uncensored, which detailed troubling allegations of abuse spanning more than two decades. Former students and staff members claimed that the teacher—who also served as Christian Union patron—had used his mentorship role to exploit vulnerable girls.
In response, Alliance Girls High School confirmed full cooperation with law enforcement and reaffirmed its commitment to student safety and well-being. During the suspension, the teacher will continue receiving full salary and allowances until the investigation is concluded.Mounting public outrage led alumni to stage peaceful protests outside the school on Thursday, July 10, demanding immediate action from TSC.
Demonstrators donned white shirts and carried placards with messages such as “Protect the Girls, Not the Predators.”Critics of the Commission including the demonstrators called out its delayed response to prior warnings, and vowed continued advocacy until accountability is achieved.Education Principal Secretary Julius Bitok has since called for the teacher’s arrest, stating that the Ministry has coordinated with the TSC and other stakeholders to ensure swift legal action.
Meanwhile, the Federation of Women Lawyers in Kenya (FIDA-Kenya) pressed for disciplinary measures against the school’s leadership for its alleged reluctance to act. Chairperson Christine Kungu urged the Ministry of Education to mandate clear mechanisms in all schools for addressing sexual and gender-based violence.
Legal experts warn of grave consequences if the teacher is found culpable. According to lawyer Danstan Omari, the case could fall under multiple provisions of Kenya’s Sexual Offences Act, including:- Section 8– Defilement of minors aged 16 to 18, punishable by a minimum of 15 years imprisonment,Section 6– Inducement of indecent acts, which may result in five years to life imprisonment,Section 11 – Indecent acts with minors, carrying a minimum 10-year sentenceIn addition to possible jail time, the teacher may face deregistration from the TSC and permanent removal from the teaching profession.
