ALLIANCE GIRLS TEACHER PETER AYIRO RESIGNS AMID SEXUAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS

Peter Albert Ayiro, a teacher implicated in a recent investigative report by Africa Uncensored on alleged sexual misconduct at Alliance Girls High School, has resigned from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).

His resignation follows mounting public scrutiny and accusations detailed in a July exposé by the Kenyan independent media outlet. The report featured accounts from victims that implicated Mr. Ayiro, who served as the school’s Christian Union patron, in a series of sexual abuse and grooming allegations.

In a resignation letter dated August 17, Ayiro said his decision to leave his post as a response to what he called “false accusations” and intense public pressure. He stated that the situation had taken a severe toll on his 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 ostracised from my church,” he wrote.

He further explained that his resignation was intended to protect his own well-being, stating it was meant to protect his dignity and peace of mind. Ayiro confirmed his departure by submitting one month’s salary in lieu of notice, attaching an M-Pesa transaction of Ksh105,000 to the TSC.

“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.”
