Well-connected individuals have infiltrated the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), stolen the identity of its Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia and conned thousands of teachers out of millions of shillings by offering bogus promotions, transfers and fast-tracking of pension payment.

Yesterday, police said they had finally cracked the cartel that has been swindling teachers millions of shillings.
