Hello Kiongozi,
I hope this message finds you well. You have been a strong advocate for the voiceless within our community, county, and the entire nation. In light of this, a group of TSC-trained teachers would like to use your platform to express their frustrations regarding the JSS document verification process. They hope that through your voice, their concerns will reach key stakeholders in the education sector, particularly the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our community’s welfare.

Further, complaints were raised on;
- Refusal by TSC officers to accept applications from teachers who’ve moved homes since applying for National ID cards.

Each applicant is required to seek verification from where he/she applied for his/her National Identity card.
- Grading has also been highly disputed with those having done sciences being greatly favored by high scores (marks).
- Age mark: 0 – 39 years old score an equal mark (7 marks)
- A diploma holders and a degree holder score the same mark (4marks) with those who attained distinction getting 5 marks regardless of subject.
- There was no level playing field at the verification
One of the participants later voiced his displeasure as follows;
