In thr new role, she will be expected to support the chairperson in steering the commission’s policy direction, overseeing strategic decision-making and ensuring effective coordination of its constitutional mandate.
Her appointment comes as the commission continues implementing reforms affecting teacher recruitment, deployment, promotion and discipline.
Kisire holds a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Anthropology and a Master of Arts in Criminology, both from Kenyatta University.
She joined the commission in September 2021, when she was sworn in alongside four other commissioners for a constitutionally mandated six-year term.
Before joining TSC, Kisire worked as head of HR Consulting at Powerhouse HR Consulting LLC and also served as chairperson of the Human Resource Management Professionals Examinations Board.
Her appointment comes a month after TSC announced vacancies for two commissioner positions, with a selection panel inviting applications from qualified Kenyans.
The commission is currently led by Acting Chief Executive Officer Eveleen Mitei, who took over last June following the retirement of former CEO Nancy Macharia.
