Nakuru West MP Samuel Arama has accused the government of misusing Teachers Service Commission (TSC) employment letters, alleging they are being distributed as political rewards rather than through mandated channels. He claims that these letters are being issued at State House to politically aligned MPs, excluding those not openly supporting the government.

• Arama stated he is often excluded, with other MPs receiving 10 to 15 letters, leading to accusations of monopolized appointments.
• The TSC's independence has been questioned before, with former Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu previously distributing employment letters at political rallies.
• A 2023/2024 recruitment drive for 6,000 teachers was allegedly compromised, and a cartel in Bomet, Kericho, and Kisii was exposed for selling forged appointment letters for Ksh 400,000 each.
