TSC Teachers Wealth Declaration; Mode of declaration, online link, deadline and penalties for failure to declare

Section 26 & 27 of the Public Officer Ethics Act (POEA) requires all public officers to declare their Income, Assets and Liabilities (IAL). All teachers are thus expected to fill an online Declaration form.

MODE OF DECLARATION

The Commission in 2017 Introduced an online Declaration Portal. This is the portal to be used for the declarations. Declarations can be made following the steps outlined in the DIALS Manual.

ACCESSING ONLINE PORTAL

The Declaration Form can be accessed on the Teachers Online Portal https://tsconline.tsc.go.ke/site/index Please note that you may also access this portal through your computer, laptop, a smart phone too.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

A do-it-yourself instruction manual has also been provided and is available on the TSC website http://www.teachersonline.go.ke under the Downloads Icon, next to the Declaration link. One may also make the Declaration process by following the prompts in the form after logging in.

MONITORING OF THE DECLARATION

All Heads of Institutions are required to monitor the progress of the Declarations in their respective institutions and report all cases of non-Compliance as reflected in line with Part B in the Wealth Declaration Instruction Manual.
