President William Ruto has officially appointed former Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary-General Wilson Sossion as a commissioner of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for a six-year period.
The announcement was published via a Special Gazette Notice issued under Article 250(2) of the Constitution and Section 8(10) of the Teachers Service Commission Act. Sossion was appointed alongside Antonina Lentoijoni to fill long-standing vacancies in the constitutional commission.
The formal appointment follows the approval of both nominees by the National Assembly’s Education Committee on August 25, 2026, after successful parliamentary vetting.
Sossion, a veteran trade unionist and former nominated Member of Parliament, returns to national education leadership through the nine-member commission mandated to manage teacher registration, recruitment, promotion, and discipline across public schools in Kenya.
