Career –Teachers who went to apply for the 46,000 advertised vacancies across the country were confronted by a series of technical errors.
The thousands of tutors who had an opportunity to reveal the challenges, decried a myriad of errors during the application exercise that started on Monday October 8.
In a report by a local digital media, most of the applicants, stated that the biggest issue was the portal’s failure to send the one-time password in a timely manner despite the time crunch presented by the one-week deadline. Some used this as a basis to claim the hitches were intentional.
Initially, most just received an ‘internal server error’ notification when they tried to log into the portal to apply despite trying several times. One X user on Tuesday wrote, “TSC Kenya your online job application portal is non-responding, kindly let your ICT team check that. It’s bringing error log messages.”
By October 2, just a day after the applications kicked off, more applicants were beginning to get more wary of the situation due to the deadline imposed.
“TSC Kenya the applications on pnp advertised jobs are not going through since yesterday. Personally, I have tried the system but nothing is forthcoming. Kindly the ICT department do something to allow teachers beat the 7th October deadline,” another one wrote.
Following the uproar that had left many questioning if the error was intentional, TSC released a statement in a bid to quell fears. The body blamed the glitch on a technical issue assuring the applicants the situation would be resolved promptly.
