Teachers lose millions as employment scam hits Nyanza

Hundreds of unemployed teachers in Southern Nyanza may have lost millions of shillings in a job recruitment racket. Three-day investigations by Saturday Standard have unearthed details of how trained, but desperate teachers are asked to part with between Sh75,000 and Sh150,000 to be issued with Teachers Service Commission (TSC) posting letters, which are indeed fake.

It has also emerged that several schools in Homa Bay, Migori, Kisii and Nyamira counties may have knowingly or unknowingly welcomed teachers with fake TSC letters.
