President Uhuru's two TSC nominees worth Sh. 245 million

The two nominees are Mbage Njuguna and Leila Abdi Ali. Mr. Njuguna is worth Sh. 165 million while Ms Ali is worth Sh. 80 million. Mr. Njuguna is a career lawyer. Ms. Ali’s case, though, has been clouded by controversy, with her nationality and academic credentials being questioned.

During her questioning Ms. Ali failed to produce her academic certificates for Kenya Certificate of Primary Education(KCPE) and Kenya Certificate for Secondary Education (KCSE). claimed that she holds an O Level certificate, which she did not produce either.

Instead, she produced a photocopy of KCSE mock exams. The photocopy indicated that she had sat for the mock exams in 1996. She also produced what she alleged to be a degree certificate from London South Bank University.

The documents disclosing the two nominees’ wealth did not however disclose they made the money.

The nominees, when approved, will replace Cleophas Tirop, Salome Gichura and Saadia Abdi Kontoma, whose six year tenure at the Teachers Service Commission ended last year. The two nominees will join the commission which is made up of commissioners Beatrice Adu, Mbarak Twahir, Kinoti Imanyara, Tache Gollo and Albert Ekirapa.
