In a
circular dated August 27, 2026, TSC clarified that issuing employment letters
is its sole constitutional duty under Article 237(2)(b), with no role for the
President or MPs.
The statement counters Wetang’ula’s remarks about MPs receiving batches at State House, sometimes allegedly sold to job seekers, insisting all letters follow strict procedures.
Lawmakers like Gatanga MP Edward Muriu dismissed the denial, while Education Committee chair Julius Melly called for evidence, fueling ongoing questions about political sway in hiring.
