A veteran teacher at Alliance Girls High School, Peter Albert Ayiro, has resigned from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) following allegations of sexual misconduct that recently triggered public outrage and investigations.
In his resignation letter dated August 17, Ayiro maintained his innocence, explaining that he chose to quit after what he described as “false accusations” and relentless public attacks destroyed his personal and professional life.
“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 has taught for 26 years, insisted that he was innocent, but admitted that the allegations had caused him “great stress and strain.” He went on to say that he had resigned to save his dignity and peace of mind.
He confirmed that he had paid one month’s salary in lieu of notice, attaching an M-Pesa transaction of Ksh.105,000 to the TSC, and asked for guidance 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 in their noble role as educators,” he stated in the letter.
His resignation comes against the backdrop of ongoing investigations into claims of sexual abuse at Alliance Girls. In October, Africa Uncensored, an independent media outlet in Kenya, reported disturbing testimony from victims accusing Ayiro of grooming and sexual abuse.
At the time, Ayiro also served as the Christian Union patron at the school, a position that, according to reports, gave him direct access to students and allegedly enabled the abuse.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) had suspended Ayiro, sending him on compulsory leave from 15th July 2025, after the commission received allegations against him for professional misconduct and breaches of multiple ethical and legal provisions under the TSC Act and the Code of Regulations for Teachers (CORT).
Ayiro allegedly violated Clause (a) of the Third Schedule to the TSC Act, Regulation 141 of CORT, and Clause 22 of the Code of Conduct and Ethics, with allegations pointing to cases of misconduct in duty at the school.
