Via a gazette notice dated February 2019, the Commission says the teachers were de-registered between May and November, 2018. The Commission did not , however, give the reasons for the dismissals only stating that the tutors have been ex-communicated because of indiscipline related issues while on duty. “In exercise of the powers conferred section 30(1) of the Teachers Service Commission Act Chapter 212 of the Laws of Kenya, the Commission wishes to notify the public that the persons whose names are specified in the schedule herein below have been removed from the Register of the Teachers,” reads the notice.
