The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has appointed Eveleen Mitei as its acting CEO as Nancy Macharia nears the end of her term.
In a notice dated Tuesday, June 3, Macharia revealed that she was proceeding on terminal leave before the end of her tenure.
Her tenure is expected to officially end on June 30.
“I am proceeding on Terminal Leave with effect from today, June 1, 2025, pending my retirement from the Teachers Service Commission on June 30, 2025, after serving the Commission in various capacities," read the statement in part.
"In the meantime, note that the Commission has appointed Ms Eveleen Mitei to act as the Commission Secretary/CEO pending the appointment of my successor. I urge you to accord her the necessary support.”

Prior to her appointment as acting CEO, Mitei served as serving as the Senior Deputy Director in charge of the HR Directorate.
She also worked as the Human Resource Manager from 1994 to 2012.
Macharia will be exiting the Commission at the end of the month after serving for 10 years.
Meanwhile, the Commission also started plans to replace Macharia and put an advert announcing the vacancy.
However, a petition was filed in Mombasa by Thomas Mosomi Oyugi to challenge the recruitment exercise.
Consequently, the court suspended the scheduled recruitment exercise.
"Upon reading the application, the grounds upon which it is premised, and the affidavit in support thereof, it is hereby ordered that the application is certified urgent. That the application be served forthwith on the respondents... that the status quo that shall obtain on May 27, 2025, as regards the impugned process, shall be maintained until further orders of this court. That the application be heard inter partes on June 9, 2025," Justice Ocharo Kebira ruled.
