The TSC in Kenya has denied claims that Ibrahim Gedi is the acting CEO, confirming that Nancy Macharia remains in her position and will start her terminal leave in March 2025. The commission has labeled the rumors circulating on social media as false, urging caution against unverified information.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in Kenya has dispelled online rumors regarding the appointment of Ibrahim Gedi as its acting chief executive officer. Despite circulating Facebook posts suggesting that Gedi has taken over from Nancy Macharia, the current CEO, the TSC confirmed that Macharia remains in her position and will commence her terminal leave in March 2025 before retiring in June 2025.
Macharia, who has been the CEO since taking over from Gabriel Lengoiboni in 2015 and was reappointed in 2020, has not yet officially retired. The TSC is known as Kenya’s largest public sector employer, and changes in its leadership are closely monitored. Gedi, presently serving as the director of administrative services, has been inaccurately labeled in social media as the acting CEO.
In addressing the misinformation, the TSC utilized its verified Facebook and X accounts, clearly marking the false claims as “FAKE.” They warned the public against believing in such unverified information. The absence of coverage from reputable news sources regarding Macharia’s supposed retirement further substantiates the TSC’s position that these claims are indeed unfounded.
In summary, the Teachers Service Commission has vehemently denied claims regarding the appointment of Ibrahim Gedi as acting CEO, reaffirming that Nancy Macharia remains in her role. The misinformation circulating on social media has been officially labeled as false by the TSC. Therefore, individuals are advised to rely on verified sources for accurate updates concerning the TSC’s leadership.
