Head teacher accused of molesting students

Operations in one of the largest primary schools in Naivasha were paralysed after parents joined their children in protesting against a head teacher who has allegedly been molesting his students.

It is alleged that more than 35 students have been abused by the teacher who would fondle their breasts and take pictures of their private parts then threaten them with dire consequences if they tell.

Parents blamed education ministry officials saying the teacher has in the past been accused of the same behaviour yet nothing has been done. They threatened to lynch him and it took police intervention to spirit him to safety.

Efforts to get a comment from the ministry were fruitless as officials and parents remained locked in a meeting over the impasse.
