The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) agents have come out to respond after numerous complaints were lodged into their offices.
The latest move came after a number of delocalized teachers from some counties said they are experiencing delays getting their transfer letters.
There were protests in some counties where teachers stormed their County Directors offices demanding to be released.
Teachers from Taita Taveta, Nyandarua, Narok, Vihiga, Samburu, Taita Taveta, Siaya, Kakamega, Bungoma, Nandi, Laikipia, Kisii, Homa Bay, Bomet and Trans Nzoia counties have complained of frustrations in getting transfers.
TSC Regional and County Directors now say transfer of delocalized teachers is still ongoing and teachers who applied should be calm as their requests are being processed.
However the Directors say as they transfer the teachers back to their areas they also have to balance out staff to ensure schools run smoothly.
Some counties like Nandi, Embu, Nairobi and Bomet are said to be overstaffed hence making the balancing of teachers a rocky task.
Also teachers especially those in secondary schools seeking inter county or inter regional transfers but lack replacement are also making the exercise difficult.
The TSC Directors say there are still many transfer letters already processed at the Headquarters and only awaiting dispatch to various Counties for teachers to pick.
They advised teachers to seek help from the TSC County and Regional Directors offices incase they have nagging issues on transfer.
TSC was given till 31st January by Parliament to ensure all delocalized teachers who applied for transfers have been moved unconditionally.
While appearing before MPs, TSC board chair Jamleck Muturi and head of legal affairs Calvin Anyuor, were ordered to ensure the lawmakers decision on delocalization of teachers is implemented.
The Education Committee chaired by Tinderet MP Julius Melly gave the commission up to end of January to ensure all teachers who had been delocalized have been transferred back to their areas.
Melly told the commission not to belabour the matter but to ensure it tables a report on how it plans to implement the said move after the National Assembly made a decision on the said policy.
On 25th January the National Assembly Speaker, Moses Wetang’ula, added a punch to TSC after he ruled that the delocalization policy is illegal as there was no parliamentary approval to the policy.
How long shall we continue to wait when the dateline is already expired? Not all counties are over staffed yet nothing is going on. Why is TSC quick to dismiss and not to transfer teachers.
I am feeling sick and bored.
I have come to hate Nyandarua county with a passion because I feel they are delaying us for nothing!
I am in a school where we are already overstaffed and releasing us has become a problem.
May God Almighty intervene and make those hindering us just to let me go!!!!!
Kwani balancing ya Nyandarua county ndiyo ngumu kuliko huko kwingine?
Having a lot of pressure,stress and anxiety!!!!!
Nyamira county has not released class room teachers who were delocalized. P

When will these letters from headquarters be dispatched?
TSC is now the most Corrupt commission as regards transfer of teachers and appointment of Principals. The amounts involved are unprintable.
Im still waiting and completely demoralised, why the delay?
Why is Nyamira county delaying transferred teachers while they well know that we must get our transfers.There are some dubious business going on.please we request the to act immediately.
I thought we were to be taken to our home sub county.Its more frustrating to suffer in ur home county
Nyandarua only God knows
Even those who had willing swops still should wait for balancing! This is not clear so long as the two teachers have agreed to swop then I don’t see the need to delay. Taita Taveta is joking
I am wondering how you decide to give transffer to a teacher who has only finished two years I’m a station yet I have stayed in the same station for 5 years and did not get the transffer!TSC please take us back to our counties we are suffering.

The longer you hold our transfers the more frustrated we become and hence no meaningful work output from a frustrated teacher.
Act fast so that people get back to work otherwise the term will be wasted. We need to go back home!
Y is it that those applied 2022 get there letters and us who applied 2021 didn’t get and they had blocked us from applying a fresh!give us our transfers
This delay is really unfortunate. Why should a teacher stay in one station for ten years cause you can’t find a replacement. So it means if you can’t get a replacement you are doomed to retire in the same station?
It is like tsc earns something after frustrating trs.Ati balancing? were trs not balanced in their home counties before this harmful policy- delocalization?
They failed to mention Migori County and more so Nyatike Sub-County. A good number of us are stuck there but, surprisingly, some who did not apply got transferred.
Kilifi county shouldn’t be left behind. Rerouting delocalized teachers seems to be very slow.
Nandi county is not overstaffed, please releasease the teachers who are yet to receive their transfer letters yet they applied.
Been in this station for 12yrs.people come and go!!!l lack the motivation to work.
Am wondering I applied my transfer last yr feb bt am yet to receive mine and this my fifth yr bt Ppl with one yr have gone
Am in this school for 12 years, stressed beyond and cannot work well anymore.
Taking too long.Waiting for the letters.
Some counties are posting teachers to the farthest part of that home counties making the life harder
Kericho county only released teachers within the region. what about those from other regions. I teacher can only offer quality service with settled mind. Teachers are set for transfer. Delay affects delivery.
Those who were delocalized should be transferred back to where they came from, whether they apply for transfer or not. After all they never applied to be delocalized. There are those who don’t want to go back home, they are the ones breaking the matrix.
Choices have consequences and in the coming years at this rate we will not have teachers in some regions . For those yet to be employed u must get employed in your home subcounty even if u graduated 15 years ago.In some regions those who graduate today will be employed tomorrow. The region likely to suffer most is Bungoma County where NA speaker comes from. Action and reaction are equal and opposite
Bungoma county, waiting for the transfer.
kindly we are in VIHIGA county where some local teachers applied to work in NANDI and yet they are not delocalized teachers .TSC should intervene this
Nakuru county has refused to release teachers to go back home especially to central region, we have been left to suffer psychological here in kuresoi
If delocalisation began 2017 meaning delocalised teachers have 6yrs.I don’t understand why someone is complaining of working for 10yrs and you had applied to be in that county willingly.
Turkana cccounty!!!release our transfer letters.
