About 500 Marsabit and Isiolo teachers have protested against their transfer to what they call “conflict-plagued Mandera”.They said they fear for their lives because terrorist attacks and communal clashes are more frequent in Northeastern county bordering Somalia.They are required to report to their new workstations in January next year as schools reopen for first term. Schools will reopen on January 2. The mass transfer comes after Teachers Service Commission CEO Nancy Macharia defended the delocalisation policy. She said 312,000 teachers would be transferred across the country.
