Nandi Teacher Appeals for TSC Job as Financial Struggles Mount, Kids Drop Out of School
Preview: For six years, Ronald Mutai, a certified P1 teacher from Nandi county, has approached numerous potential employers in pursuit of work—only to face rejection. With a faltering small business, a wife who picks tea to make ends meet, and two children out of school due to outstanding fees, Mutai is now making a sincere plea for assistance. Mutai states that time is slipping away for him, and he needs an opportunity to work and support his family.
Ronald Mutai, a 45-year-old certified primary school teacher, is requesting help to find employment after numerous unsuccessful efforts over the years.
Mutai supports himself as a small-scale chicken farmer, but the income is minimal.
Even though he graduated in 2018 from Kaimosi Teachers College with a P1 teaching qualification, Mutai is still unemployed, struggling to survive as time passes.
How does Mutai earn a living? Mutai informed this reporter that he has applied for employment each year, yet none of his attempts have proven fruitful.
“Time is running out for me, and I am appealing to any well-wisher who can help me get a job,” he expressed.
Currently, Mutai operates a small home business selling chicken and vegetables. However, the revenue from this venture barely covers his family’s needs. He is married with two children, both of whom are out of school due to unpaid school fees.
How much fee arrears do Mutai’s kids have? His eldest child, a Form Three student at Paul Boit Secondary School, has an outstanding balance of Ksh 30,000, while the younger child in Grade Three at Newhope School has a pending balance of Ksh 28,900.
“My children have been unable to continue with their education due to fee arrears, and this breaks my heart as a parent. I want to give them a better future, but my hands are tied,” he said.
Mutai’s wife possesses a certificate in catering but has been unable to collect it due to unpaid fees, making it difficult for her to apply for decent jobs. Meanwhile, she contributes to the family income by picking tea while handling household duties.

Mutai appeals for assistance in securing employment. Compounding his struggles, Mutai has lost both of his parents and has no consistent support system. He remains optimistic that someone will step forward to help him find work in the education field.
“I am ready to work and serve as a teacher, but I need an opportunity. I believe that with a job, I can support my family and ensure my children receive the education they deserve,” he stated.
Any individuals or organisations willing to assist him can come forward to provide support, whether through job opportunities or financial help for his children’s education.
Jobless Bungoma TSC teacher finally employed.
In a tale with a joyous conclusion, Maurice Michael Wechune’s 14-year wait for a Teachers Service Commission (TSC) position recently concluded. After countless interviews in pursuit of a stable and pensionable job without success, he had made do with the private sector, earning a paltry KSh 10,000 each month.
Wechune, along with his wife and four children, had a reason to beam after he ultimately obtained his TSC appointment.
