Parents and residents of Butere Girls High School in Kakamega County are now demanding accountability from the government after the school's students were reportedly humiliated and barred from performing their play, 'Echoes of Wars, at the Kenya National Drama and Film Festival in Nakuru County.
The learners, who had travelled from Kakamega after the High Court overturned the Ministry of Education's ban on their play, were denied access to the festival venue and held in seclusion under tight security for several hours with parents urging President William Ruto to intervene and call to order injustice being meted against the learners and safeguard democracy.
