Just a week after students from Butere Girls High School were teargassed at the National Drama Festivals in Nakuru, the government has apologised.
Speaking during an interview on Citizen TV on Wednesday night, Dennis Itumbi, the head of Creative Economy and Presidential Special Projects, took the opportunity to apologise to the girls on behalf of the government.
In his apology, Itumbi not only apologised for the tear gas lobbed at the high schoolers but also for not utilising his capacity to see the play to its end. "Let me take this opportunity with the full sleeves and honours of the government to apologise to all the girls of Butere Girls for the teargas that was meted out on them.
I sincerely apologise," Itumbi stated.
