Teachers Service Commission doesn’t transfer errant teachers

In a court ruling covered prominently by the media a week ago, the High Court ordered the Attorney General, Teachers Service Commission, a public primary school in Nakuru and one Henry Stariko Amukoah to jointly pay two girls Sh5 million to compensate them for defilement by Mr Amukoah, a former teacher.

Justice Mumbi Ngugi further opined that the girls' school and TSC had not diligently exercised their duty of care, and talked about "serial offenders who abuse students in one school and are often transferred to other schools, where abuse continues".
