The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Chief Executive Officer Dr. Nancy Macharia has announced when she is set to retire.
The TSC boss while speaking at the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) annual general meeting on Tuesday, December 10 announced that she is set to retire early next year, ending her 10-year term at the commission.
Macharia was appointed to the helm of the Commission in June 2015, with her tenure later extended in 2020.
She made the announcement while extending her gratitude to KNUT for what she termed as “utmost professionalism” with which the union has dealt with her since she took over the role as TSC boss.
“Sincerely, I have no words to express my most profuse appreciation to Knut for the utmost professionalism with which you have dealt with me over the last nine years. As I approach the tail-end of my ten-year service as secretary and CEO of the TSC, I can only look back with an incredible tinge of satisfaction over our enviable work relationship in the office,” she said.
“I wish you the very best as you work to elevate the teaching profession to even higher standards.”
Macharia revealed that this year alone, TSC has had exclusive consultations with Knut more than 10 times.
“This excludes informal meetings that I have had with the SG and other leaders in the union. On this end, allow me to thank Knut for sponsoring some of the retreats we have had,” she said.
Dr. Macharia was appointed as TSC boss in 2015 for a renewable term of five years with her term which expired in 2020 being extended by another five years.
