Tuesday, January 16, 2024 - Controversial Mumias East Member of Parliament, Peter Salaysa, stormed St Gabriel Isongo Secondary School in the company of angry parents and ejected the principal from the school over poor KCSE results.
The parents came in
droves, some on foot and others on motorbikes.
They went straight to
the principal’s office and frogmarched him out of the school compound.
The students joined
in the melee and cheered as the principal was being mishandled.
The principal was
forced to run for his dear life on a motorbike as he begged for mercy.
“Huyu mwalimu akikuja hapa mean score ilikua 5 saa hii amerudisha
chini mpaka imefika 2. Hii shule ni kubwa sana anaangusha shule. Kubadilisha
walimu wa board kila mwezi,” said an angry parent.
The area member of parliament, Peter Salaysa, blamed the principal for
students’ poor grades.
“We want commitment from the principals that's why we have called
for that meeting, no you have to go home. No, acha niweke some sympathy, you
have to transfer,” he said.
“Sasa kama wewe ni principal, watoto wanakuja kwa shule, wazazi have done
their part, bursary nimelipa then. You have not delivered, then it means you
cannot whip your teachers to deliver,” added Salaysa.
The incident comes
barely a week after furious parents stormed Mafuta Secondary School in Uasin Gishu County and ejected the
principal over poor KCSE results.

Dear ministry of education my mum is a head teacher ‼️please let's stop this madness. Teachers are good people. If schools don't perform, find informed and civil solutions. A stampede could easily lead to deaths in such a scene to both teachers, students and villagers. pic.twitter.com/bPef6MYXBM
