Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa is advocating for a significant overhaul of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) through his TSC Amendment Bill, 2025. The bill proposes transitioning TSC commissioners, including the chairperson, to part-time roles and introducing direct nomination of teacher representatives.

• The bill aims to save the government between KSh 70 million and KSh 80 million annually by replacing commissioner salaries (KSh 650,000 to KSh 765,000 per month) with sitting allowances of KSh 40,000 to KSh 50,000 per sitting for six sittings annually.
• MP Didmus Barasa, the sole sponsor of the bill introduced on February 24, 2025, defended his proposal before the Budget and Appropriations Committee.
• The bill proposes that registered teachers directly nominate their representatives to the TSC, mirroring the structure of other commissions like the Judicial Service Commission.
