Several long-suffering university graduates who successfully underwent verification process for internships with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) are crying foul after being locked out at the tail-end of the recruitment process.

Those in Nairobi who had been called by TSC for the final verification process that paves the way for signing of one-year internship agreements told The Standard they were shocked to be asked to produce evidence of being born or being voters in particular sub-counties.
