Kiambu town MP Jude Njomo has condemned Langata Road Primary school management and the head teacher, after they allowed children to participate in a demonstration in Lang’ata, within Nairobi County, over alleged grabbed school land.
Speaking from his constituency on Monday when he awarded motivational presents to some pupils at Ndumberi Primary, Njomo said it is very unethical for human rights activists to use person under the age of 18 to demonstrate.
He said that although the children were directly affected by the matter, the school management did not have the liberty to send the children out to demonstrate
The legislator further added that the school’s head teacher and the board of management should be sued for endangering the lives of minors, saying that they are all adults and they all can manage to face the law
“The schools management and the head teacher should be arrested and be forced to face the law for allowing the pupils to go out of the school and protest. They were generally endangering the lives of the minors whom they are entrusted by the parent,” said the legislator.
The demonstrations were stationed in Nairobi’s Lang’ata area, where the protestors paralyzed the daily activities along Lang’ata road, forcing police forces to intervene, which left at least six minors hospitalized.
