[Wilberforce Okwiri, Standard]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. “The suspects were arrested on Wednesday with TSC employment forms among other crucial government documents which they have been using in what is believed to be a con syndicate,” Mwanzi told court. Victims fall for the cons after the fraudsters convince them by sharing the teachers’ personal details with them. It also emerged that in response to these developments, the commission has shifted recruitment, transfers and promotions online.
