The Teachers Service Commission has set a deadline of 31st December 2025 for teachers on the payroll to complete the TSC wealth declaration. The digital exercise requires every eligible teacher to declare income, assets and liabilities for the last two years using their official @mwalimu.tsc.go.ke email account. Failure to comply may attract disciplinary action, fines or other sanctions under the Public Officer Ethics Act.
Key Takeaways
- All TSC employees (except interns) must submit a digital declaration of income, assets and liabilities by 31st December 2025.
- Declarations are submitted online and require an activated @mwalimu.tsc.go.ke email address; manual forms are not accepted.
- Providing false or incomplete information can lead to fines, imprisonment, salary stoppage or disciplinary measures.
- The declaration covers the teacher and dependants and a receipt of submission is sent to the teacher’s TSC email.
What the TSC wealth declaration requires
The declaration asks teachers to provide a full account of their financial and personal details for the previous two years. The main sections include:
- Part A – Basic details: TSC number, mobile, email, place of birth, marital status, postal addresses (current and permanent), KCSE mean grade, education level, home county/sub-county, any impairment, category and teaching subjects with grades.
- Part B – Personal financial details: Income (salary for two years), assets (land, rental properties, motor vehicle, SACCO shares, etc.) and liabilities (loans and other debts).
- Part C – Dependants: Spouse full name and ID, children under 18 (names and gender).
- Part D – Other information: Any other relevant details.
- Part E – Witness information: Names, ID numbers and addresses of witnesses.
Why the declaration matters
The wealth declaration is a legal requirement under Section 26 and 27 of the Public Officer Ethics Act. Its objectives are to:
- Promote transparency and integrity in the public service.
- Provide a snapshot of declared assets and liabilities for accountability.
- Reduce conflicts of interest and deter corruption.
Main keyword: TSC wealth declaration — how to submit
Teachers must use the digital portal accessed via their official TSC email. Key steps:
- Activate your @mwalimu.tsc.go.ke email if not already done — this is required to log in.
- Gather supporting information: payslips for the past two years, loan statements, titles or lease documents, SACCO statements and ID numbers for dependants and witnesses.
- Fill every section on the online form carefully. The system rejects incomplete submissions.
- Press SUBMIT and confirm that a copy of the completed declaration has been sent to your TSC email. Download and keep the receipt.
Consequences of non-compliance
Non-submission or providing misleading information can attract both criminal and administrative penalties. Under the Public Officer Ethics Act a public officer who fails to declare or who gives false details may face:
- A fine of up to Ksh. 1,000,000 and/or imprisonment for up to one year upon conviction.
- Administrative actions such as show-cause letters, warnings, suspension of salary or other disciplinary measures under TSC procedures.
Practical tips and common problems
Many teachers report portal or access issues during rollout. To avoid delays:
- Start early and avoid last-minute submissions to reduce system congestion.
- Use clear supporting documents and accurate figures to prevent rejection for inconsistencies.
- If your portal access fails, check your @mwalimu.tsc.go.ke activation status and contact TSC support through official channels.
- Keep downloaded receipts of submission as proof in case of queries.
