TSC gives Status update on the Release of Promotion Letters in 2025

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has given a Status update on the Release of Promotion Letters for successful teachers in 2025.

The Commission has at the same time given reasons why the promotion letters have not been dispatched.

Via an internal memo sent to all Regional Directors, County Directors, and Sub-County Directors, the TSC Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia further promises to release the letters once the hindrances are addressed.

“The Commission wishes to address the growing concern regarding the delay in the release of promotion letters for teachers who recently underwent interviews for various administrative and senior teaching positions.” Says Ms Macharia via the memo dated Wednesday May 14, 2025.

The promotion process was concluded and successful candidates identified in April.

Among other reasons, Macharia has cited Budgetary Alignment as being the remain reason for the delay.

She says final approval and release of funds from the National Treasury is still pending, which directly affects implementation timelines.

Further, ongoing Administrative Procedures are also hindering the release of the letters.

“The Commission is finalizing internal verifications to ensure compliance with relevant public service regulations and to avoid any legal or procedural challenges.” She says.

The promotion exercise was rocked by controversies with a section of Members of Parliament and Teachers’ unions opposing the exercise.

Macharia says Stakeholders’ engagement is being finalized to prevent further altercations.

She adds: “Consultations are ongoing with key stakeholders, including the Public Service Commission and the teachers’ unions, to ensure a smooth and transparent rollout.”

While acknowledging the building anxiety among teachers, the outgoing TSC Boss says that ‘the Commission is working diligently to resolve the remaining issues and will communicate the exact dates for the release and dispatch of promotion letters in due course.’
