Nairobi — Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has directed the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) not to sack 122 interdicted teachers from North Eastern who refused to resume work over security concerns.

Speaking during the 63rd Kenya National Union of Teachers National Delegates Conference at the Kasarani Stadium, Gachagua indicated that the teachers were only trying to protect their lives.

"I told TSC not to try to sack them because you can not punish people who are running away to save their lives," he said.

He assured that the government has taken measures to ensure the region is secure for not only the teachers and learners but all the residents therein.

He said several security organs in the country are working together to ensure North Eastern is secure.

"Kindiki, National Police Service and all our security agents are doing what needs to be done so that our teachers and Kenyans at large are living in a secure environment," he said.
