Monday, July 21, 2025 - There was drama at Mayenje Primary School in Busia after a group of angry pupils staged an unprecedented protest, storming the home of their headteacher and threatening to set it ablaze.
A video shared online shows the uniformed pupils
shouting, chanting, and banging on the gate of the headteacher’s residence,
located just a short distance from the school compound.
Some of the pupils can be seen wielding large sticks, while
others carry leafy twigs, symbols often used during protests in Kenya.
Witnesses say the students were enraged over an alleged
incident involving a football competition in which they were participating.
According to reports, the tournament had a cash prize,
and the pupils believed they had a strong chance of winning, but their own
headteacher “sabotaged the match.”
“He sold the game because he didn’t want us to continue in
the competition,” one pupil is heard saying in a separate video clip.
As tensions escalated, the situation spiraled out of
control, prompting the headteacher to hide inside his house, fearing for
his safety.
He was later rescued by local authorities after neighbors
raised the alarm.
