Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Chairman Jamlick Muturi is at the center of a massive insurance fraud scandal, following explosive allegations from whistleblower Nelson Amenya.
According to Amenya, Muturi has turned a blind eye as health tycoon Jayesh Saini and other powerful figures profit from teachers’ life and medical insurance schemes, leading to the deaths of over 10,000 teachers over the past decade.
Amenya, known for his role in exposing the JKIA-Adani deal, claims that teachers have faced prolonged procedures and delays in accessing critical medical treatments, with life-saving cover withheld to frustrate beneficiaries.

“Jayesh Saini, who owns Pioneer Insurance alongside Safaricom board chairman Adil Khawanja, is making a return profit of over 50% of premiums paid, while teachers’ families are denied rightful claims,” Amenya revealed.
The KSh 1.4 billion life cover for teachers, handled by Pioneer Insurance, has allegedly failed to pay out to beneficiaries, with premiums being diverted to Saini’s MAKL outfit instead of the consortium of insurance companies that officially won the TSC tender.
“Over the last three years, Minet has charged TSC over KSh 55 billion for medical and life cover, but the funds are passed on to MAKL illegally,” said Amenya.

Muturi, whose role in the scandal was highlighted by the account @schoolscandals.ke on X (formerly Twitter), faces heavy criticism.
The post claims, “This happens with the full knowledge of Jamlick Muturi, a very corrupt and useless man,” implicating him in the ongoing mismanagement.
The revelations raise serious questions about the integrity of the TSC leadership and demand an explanation from CEO Nancy Macharia on who won the tender, who manages the premiums, and why action hasn’t been taken to safeguard teachers from these fraudulent schemes.
