protesters who included parents and former students of Moi Girls’ secondary school on Monday held demonstrations in protest over the alleged rape incident at the institution.
The protesters vowed not to leave the school compound until they were furnished with information on what transpired at the school.
“We are not going to leave this place until the police, the school management, and the government tell us exactly what happened,” said one of the protesters.
The parents also wanted the immediate arrest of the school principal.
“We are here for picketing, the girl (victim) wrote a statement saying the principal told her to shower and never to talk to anyone, so tunataka huyu principal ashikwe na awekwe ndani (we demand that the principal is arrested and taken to custody),” said a parent.
Kilimani police chief Michael Muchiri promised the agitated protesters that they will get to the bottom of the matter.
“I implore all of you to calm down and wait for the full report from the detectives. I am a parent and I understand how all of you must be feeling but you should give us time to gather full information and we shall let you know,” said OCPD Muchiri.
