St. Bhakita Chuka Girls High School in Tharaka Nithi County has been closed indefinitely after parents protested, demanding the removal of Chief Principal Joan Muchina. The closure is to allow investigations into allegations leveled against her.
- The Parents accused Chief Principal Muchina of intimidation, mistreating students, and poor academic performance.
- The Teachers Service Commission had initially stated that Muchina would step aside but students would remain, only for the school to be closed later.
- The Principal defense claims the protests are a “witch hunt” related to procurement and tendering processes, allegedly organized by a board member.
