Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i yesterday said there will be no further changes to the decision made by the Teacher’s Service Commission to transfer hundreds of head teachers who had overstayed their stations.

Dr Matiang’i warned that those opposing the transfers will be arrested and prosecuted. New headmasters posted to some schools around the country ran into headwinds as locals and students protested against their deployment.
