Teachers Service Commission appoints new CEO as Macharia retires.

Outgoing CEO Nancy Macharia and  Ken Mulunda


The Teachers Service Commission has today appointed Dr. Ken Mulunda Commission Secretary/ CEO in an acting capacity.


The  incumbent CEO Nancy Macharia is set to retire in June when her 5 year term will end.


Until his appointment, Dr. Ken Mulunda served as Deputy Commission Secretary at Teachers Service Commission.


Dr. Ken Mulunda, newly appointed TSC CEO


During her tenure, Nancy Macharia exhibited a bitter-sweet kind of relationship with teachers;  endless teachers strikes and court battles.


She has faced constant ruthless opposition from
Teachers' Unions especially in implimenting news polices including delocalization of teachers. Her seat was a hot one, her  tasks were enormous. Is Dr. Mulunda fit to take the wheel?


As Dr. Mulunda takes charge, among his first tasks  will be to work out the payment of some 10,000 teachers who the commission hired in an internship programme but have not been paid for 3 months.


While some teachers may be happy about the change in employer leadership, others may suspect the possibility of Ms. Macharia negotiating for a second term at the commission.

Homework that ODM needs to do in 2021

-
The Raila Odinga led  orange party is no doubt the biggest political party in Kenya. We can trace its roots back to the 2005 referendum in which Raila was opposed to the proposed constitutional change. He converted the opposing wing into a political party, ODM.  ODM thrived through 2013 and 2017 elections. In 2018,  ODM found itself in a handshake which now looks like a political pact between Odinga's party and the ruling Jubilee party led by President Kenyatta. The collaboration has manifested in many ways, the latest being Msambweni parliamentary by-election  where Ruto's independent candidate won against the ODM cum handshake candidate. This put ODM on the political radar, attracting profound negative perceptions about the party's influence not only in coast politics but also national politics. ODM Lost lost the third By-election after Embakasi south and Ugenya.  A single election shouldn't be used to measure the party's nation wide influence but a loss in a perc

Teenage pregnancies in Kenya; all is not lost.

In the last couple of months,  Machakos county recorded close to 4000 teenage pregnancies. Going by the MoH statement on Monday, the numbers we see could be as a result of double counts. I still don't understand why teenage pregnancy had to be rampant at this particular time of a pandemic. The children are on holiday, so are  adults as results  the stay at home order.  So  you find adults who have been in intimate relationships have now been cut-out from their  partners due to the situation. When the appetite grows as COVID-19 regulations stay longer, the next victim of sexual fulfilment becomes that young girl/guy next door whose parents are not so keen. It's that cousin who came over to your place after schools closed. It's that nephew or niece who was entrusted to you by their parents or any other case that may arise as demanded by various situations and such, the feeling is mutual between the two sexes, so we can't blame either sex solely.  However it's unfortun
