DRAMA AS ANGRY PARENTS STORM A SCHOOL IN GATUNDU OVER MISMANAGEMENT & PRESENCE OF DRUNK TEACHERS!!

Learning was paralyzed at Makohokoho Primary in Gatundu North, Kiambu County after tens of parents stormed the school to eject the school head over alleged mismanagement and embezzlement of funds. Armed with twigs and placards painted with anti-school head writings, the furious parents brought learning to a standstill after they occupied the school with all manner of chants. At the center of their fury is alleged blatant abuse of funds generated from sale of the school’s tea leaves, tens of sold trees and misappropriation of development funds raised by parents. The irate parents further accused the school head of facilitating alarming dismal performance of pupils who they said have been registering very poor results during local and national exams. They regretted that the school head who was deployed at the school five years ago has been dictating operations of the school without the consent of a committee elected to represent parents. Led by John Mukui, the current chairman representing parents, the angry parents took issue with the school head for disregarding their letters detailing their concerns and proposed solutions. Faith Wangari, a parent, said that tens of pupils have been transferred from the school over poor performance and a tendency of the school head’s increased monetary demands. Wangari revealed that the school had established a wing to board class seven and eight learners for improved studies but the number has since reduced to ten pupils, a situation she said has thrown the school at the verge of closure. Further, the parents claimed that a section of the school teachers have been reporting to work while drunk thereby failing to execute their teaching mandate effectively besides painting a very bad picture to the learners. During the demonstrations that saw the pupils remain locked inside classes with zero learning happening, police from Kamwangi Police Station had to be called to calm the fuming parents who wanted to lock the school head’s office and the school gate. Reached for a comment over the matter, Gatundu North Sub-County Education Director Edith Kariuki did not pick our calls and had not replied to our text message by the time of going to press.
