Former Teachers Service Commission (TSC) CEO, Dr. Nancy Macharia, has turned down an appointment to serve as Chairperson of the Murang’a County Public Service Board.
by Murang’a Governor Irungu Kang’ata to serve as Chairperson of the Murang’a County Public Service Board.
In a letter dated June 25, 2025 and addressed to Murang’a County Governor Irungu Kang’ata, Dr. Macharia cited an offer from an international organization being her primary reason to decline the Public Service Board offer.
“I hereby thank you for nominating me for the Chair of the Murang’a County Public Service Board. However, I decline the post as I have received another offer from an international body, which, in my opinion, could affect my performance in the said role,” Dr. Macharia wrote.
She further explained that she had realized the position would require a full-time commitment, whereas she had hoped for a part-time engagement.
Governor Kang’ata had nominated Dr. Macharia alongside Dr. Louis Mwende Musikali, Johnson Kang’ethe Kinyua, and Dr. Brian Lishenga Makamu as members of the Board. Oscar Kimani Gathura was nominated as Secretary to the Board. The nomination of Dr. Macharia came shortly after her tenure at TSC was set to conclude on June 30, 2025.
Her letter declining the Murang’a County nomination was submitted just a day before she was scheduled for vetting on Friday.
