NAIROBI, Kenya – A long-serving teacher at Alliance Girls High School has resigned from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) following mounting accusations of sexual misconduct.
In a resignation letter dated August 17, Peter Albert Ayiro, who has taught for 26 years, said he was stepping down to protect his dignity after what he termed “false accusations” and sustained public attacks.
“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,” he wrote.
Ayiro, who also served as the Christian Union patron at the school, confirmed he had paid one month’s salary in lieu of notice, attaching a Ksh105,000 M-Pesa transaction to the TSC, and requested guidance on clearance and exit procedures.
He maintained his innocence, saying the accusations had caused him “great stress and strain.”
“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 in their noble role as educators,” he added.
His resignation follows weeks of scrutiny after an Africa Uncensored exposé in July implicated him in multiple accounts of sexual abuse and grooming of students at the prestigious girls’ school.
The allegations triggered investigations and public outcry, putting pressure on the TSC to act.
