Nairobi, Kenya – August 19, 2025 – A long-serving teacher at Alliance Girls High School, Peter Albert Ayiro, has resigned from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) following mounting accusations of sexual misconduct.
In a resignation letter dated August 17, Ayiro, who has taught for 26 years, cited “false accusations” and relentless public attacks as the main reasons behind his decision to quit.
“This decision has not come easily. It is a result of the false accusations levelled against me. I continue to endure evil, monstrous and persistent cyberbullying, threats of physical harm, public humiliation and even being ostracized from my church,” Ayiro wrote.
Maintains innocence amid pressure
The veteran teacher, who also served as the Christian Union patron at the school, maintained his innocence, stating that the allegations had caused him “great stress and strain.”
He confirmed that he had paid one month’s salary in lieu of notice — Ksh.105,000 via M-Pesa — and requested guidance from the TSC on clearance and exit procedures.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to have served as a teacher for the last 26 years. I have gained invaluable experience and growth during my tenure. It is my hope that the Commission continues to uphold fairness, transparency and support for all its employees,” he added.
Investigations and public scrutiny
Ayiro’s resignation comes amid ongoing investigations into sexual misconduct at the prestigious Alliance Girls High School.
He was recently implicated in sexual abuse and grooming allegations published in July by the independent media outlet Africa Uncensored, which interviewed alleged victims.
The scandal has drawn public outrage, with parents, alumni, and education stakeholders calling for swift action from the Teachers Service Commission and the Ministry of Education to ensure accountability in schools.
