TSC to pay Sh5 million for sex abuse by teacher

Appellate judges set aside award by the High Court saying agency is obliged to ensure safety of minors

The Court of Appeal has affirmed an order finding that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) ought to bear the responsibility of sex pests preying on children in schools.

In a decision requiring TSC to pay two minors Sh5 million as compensation, Appeal Court judges Roselyn Nambuye, Martha Koome and Fatuma Sichale declined to set aside the award by the High Court, saying the commission has to ensure minors have a safe learning environment.
