Millions of shillings donated by well-wishers, along with the land of Gatoto Primary School are at the heart of a dispute that threatens to disrupt the education of over 1,000 learners in Mukuru Kwa Reuben.
This emerged after the school's Board of Management (BOM) raised concerns about a forceful and illegal attempt to transfer the school from private to public management.
According to Gideon Dambuki, Manager, the Gatoto Integrated Development Programme under which the school operates, there is an ongoing plot to forcefully take over the school's management in a questionable process led by area politicians and government officials.
Dambuki named area MP Julius Mawathe, Chief David Ndirangu, Assistant County Commissioner, Sub-County Director of Education Mary Kimeu, and the school's former BOM chairperson Robinson Kombo as key figures people behind the alleged takeover.
