The Teachers Service Commission(TSC) has announced disruptions on its online service systems due to the power instability.

The disruptions could affect TSC's services on the online platform including processing of payslips, applications for employment and promotions.

This follows a massive blackout that hit most parts of the country on Friday night following what Kenya Power said was a technical hitch on its major lines.

In a tweet, TSC asked Kenyans seeking services online to be patient as their technical teams address the hitches.

''TSC is currently experiencing intermittent online services disruption due power instability. Please bear with us as the technical team works to restore the online services. We regret any inconveniences caused,'' TSC said. 

On Friday night, the country was plunged into darkness following a massive power outage that affected most parts of the country including Nairobi, Central, Rift Valley and Western regions.

Kenya Power, in a statement, attributed the outage that led to loss of bulk power to a system disturbance.
