Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has issued a stern warning to principals who are still refusing to release national examination certificates to students because of school fee arrears, stressing that they risk losing their jobs.
Speaking in Nakuru on Thursday, May 15, the DP urged parents to report any "stubborn" head of an institution who refuses to release the certificate to the assistant chief for action to be taken. "There are so many schools that have refused to release certificates to students who finished their national examinations.
I want to warn that principals who continue defying government directives are risking their jobs," he said.
According to the DP, after a principal releases a certificate, the government will follow up and develop a mechanism to ensure that the fee balance is sorted.
