A
school in Kakamega county was recently closed indefinitely after students went
on the rampage demanding the removal of their principal.
Friends
School Lwandeti Secondary in Kakamega North subcounty was closed after parents
and students took to the streets to demand the immediate removal of their
principal Moses Wadongo over what they termed as total mismanagement of their
institution.
Traffic
along the Kakamega-Webuye Road was put to a halt for hours as the more than 400
students and their parents demonstrated towards the Kakamega North subcounty
education offices to demand that their deputy Nancy Webo, who had been promoted
to head Tumbeni Secondary School within the subcounty, takes over from Wadongo.
They
claimed that Wadongo had failed to improve on the academic performance of the
school. The mean score has stagnated at 2.00 since he was posted there 10 years
ago and out of 101 students who sat for their KCSE exams last year, the best
candidate scored a mean grade of C+.
