Bungoma Teacher Dies One Day After Alleged Forced TSC Transfer

A sombre mood has engulfed Bungoma County following the sudden demise of Madam Ejakait Naomi, a local primary school teacher. She reportedly passed away just one day after receiving an unexpected transfer letter relocating her from Ngoli Primary School to Kamusinga AC.

Shock Over Unrequested Transfer

According to reports circulating among local educators, Madam Naomi had not requested the transfer. Colleagues claim the news came as a severe shock, particularly because she had a documented medical condition that required special consideration.

Furthermore, the transfer meant she would lose her elected position as the Zonal Games Vice Chairperson. Peers argue the sudden move exposed her to harsh conditions detrimental to her health.

Teachers Condemn Arbitrary Relocations

The tragic incident has sparked outrage among teachers in the region. Many view this as part of a broader pattern of arbitrary transfers allegedly orchestrated by rogue sub-county directors without due process.

Local educators have pointed fingers at the acting county director, Jane Nyakoe. They accuse her administration of high-handedness and abuse of office when handling teacher deployments across the county.

Demands to the Teachers Service Commission

In the wake of Madam Naomi’s death, Bungoma teachers are up in arms. They are issuing strict demands to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) regarding the leadership in the county.

The educators are calling for the immediate transfer of the implicated sub-county director. Additionally, they are demanding the swift deployment of a substantive county director to restore order and fairness in the region’s education sector.
