National Bank of Kenya (NBK) donated an

assortment of Protective Personal Equipment

(PPE) to the Teachers Service Commission

(TSC) as it works towards full reopening of

learning institutions in the country.

The donation that included 1000 masks, 20

thermo guns, 1000 gloves and 200 of litres

sanitizer, will be distributed in TSC’s secretariat

and regional offices to aid the fight against the

COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking during the presentation, National

Bank’s Managing Director, Paul Russo said:

“This is to express our solidarity with the

commission as you continue with the

enormous task of managing the phased

resumption of the learning in the country after

interruption by the pandemic”.

On her part, TSC’s Commission Secretary, Dr

Nancy Macharia said: “This donation will

greatly boost the commission’s efforts to

provide a safe environment that protects our

staff across the country as we continue to plan

for the full reopening of our learning

institutions”.

The government is in the process of

implementing phased reopening of schools in

the country after they were closed in March

2020 as a measure to curb the spread of

national examinations have reported to

commence preparations.

Besides TSC, National Bank has also donated

masks to the National Police Service. This is

addition to measures taken to cushion

customers from the negative impacts of the

COVID-19 pandemic. This includes

restructuring customer loans, and waiver of

fees charged on use of digital channels.
