Drama ensued after parents and students from Mabwaita Primary School stormed the neighbouring Sosit Primary School in Bureti, Kericho county, protesting over what they termed as the premature transfer of their headteacher.
In a bizarre turn of events, learning at Sosit primary was paralyzed after parents and students from Mabwaita primary held demonstrations demanding the immediate re-transfer of their headteacher.
The learners and parents, who were joined by the Board of Management in the protests, took matters into their own hands and walked five kilometers to Sosit where the drama ensued. The Board claims they decided to grab the bull by its horns after a written letter a week ago sent to the Ministry of Education pleading against his transfer fell on deaf ears.
