TSC Wealth Declaration: How to Complete Your DIALs Online
TSC Wealth Declaration — officially the Declaration of Income, Assets and Liabilities (DIALs) — is a legal requirement for TSC teachers every two years under Section 31 of the Conflict of Interest Act, filed online at teachersonline.tsc.go.ke. It’s not something you can defer or skip quietly: TSC monitors compliance through Heads of Institution and has previously published lists of teachers who missed the deadline. Here’s who must declare, what you’ll need, and exactly how the process works.
TSC opens and closes the DIALs system for a fixed window each cycle, announced by circular a few weeks ahead of time — it is not permanently open. The most recent cycle (2023/2025) closed at the end of December 2025. If you’re trying to declare right now, confirm the current window is open via TSC’s official circulars before assuming access is available.
Who Must Declare — and Who’s Exempt
| Category | Requirement |
|---|---|
| All TSC teachers | Must declare, including those on leave, secondment, or authorised absence |
| Teachers under interdiction or suspension | Still required to declare |
| Teachers employed under 2 years | File an Initial declaration |
| Teachers exiting service | File a Final declaration |
| Intern teachers | Exempt — do not need to declare |
How to Complete Your Declaration
Go to the Portal
Visit teachersonline.tsc.go.ke. This is the exact portal named in TSC’s own DIALs circular for submissions.
Log In
Use your TSC Number and password. You’ll need an activated official email address — it’s what TSC uses for setting, accessing, and resetting your declaration password.
Select Your Declaration Type
Choose Regular, Initial, or Final, based on your employment status.
Fill In Your Basic Details
TSC Number, mobile number, email, place of birth, marital status, postal address, KCSE mean grade, education level, home county and sub-county, and category.
Declare Income, Assets and Liabilities
Cover the statement period set in the current circular, including any material change since your last declaration.
Add Your Witness
A witness must be listed with accurate details. TSC explicitly treats a missing or inaccurate witness entry as unacceptable.
Submit and Keep Your Confirmation
Press Submit before logging out — a copy is automatically emailed to you as confirmation. TSC does not accept hard copies of the DIALs form.
What Counts as a “Material Change”
If you’re updating a previous declaration rather than starting fresh, TSC defines a material change as any of the following occurring since your last declaration:
| Type of Change |
|---|
| At least a 25% increase or decrease in the value of an income, asset, or liability |
| Disposal or acquisition of an asset or liability |
| Change in marital status |
| Appointment to, or change in, a directorship |
| Change in membership of a company, partnership, or other legal entity |
| Change in membership of a social association, society, club, foundation, or trust |

What is the TSC Wealth Declaration?
It’s the online Declaration of Income, Assets and Liabilities (DIALs), required of TSC teachers every two years under Section 31 of the Conflict of Interest Act. It applies to teachers on leave, secondment, interdiction, suspension, or authorised absence. Intern teachers are exempt.
Where do I file my TSC Wealth Declaration?
At teachersonline.tsc.go.ke, the portal named directly in TSC’s own DIALs circular. The Commission does not accept hard copies.
What happens if I don’t declare on time?
Submitting false or misleading information is an offence under the Conflict of Interest Act and can lead to conviction plus administrative or disciplinary action. In 2023, TSC published a list of over 100,000 teachers who failed to declare on time.
Is the declaration window open right now?
Not necessarily. TSC opens and closes the DIALs system for a fixed window each cycle and announces exact dates by circular a few weeks beforehand. Check TSC’s official circulars for the current cycle’s dates before assuming the portal is open.
Do new or exiting teachers still need to declare outside the main window?
Teachers employed under two years file an Initial declaration, and teachers leaving service file a Final declaration. In the most recent cycle these followed the same window as the regular biennial declaration.
