The High Court in Nairobi has ordered a private school to pay the parents of two minors Sh600,000 as compensation for kicking them out over differences with their father.
Although Justice Lawrence Mugambi found that Makini School had followed the law as the contract was between it and the minors' father, he ruled that the two children should not have suffered ridicule owing to the bad blood between the management and the parent.
He observed that there was evidence to show that the two kids codenamed RAB had suffered psychologically as they were not aware of what was transpiring.
He observed that they were ejected from the classroom and isolated from the rest. "It is clear to me the treatment that the Respondents subjected the minors to was unwarranted and disrespectful and an affront to their dignity.
