The Ministry  of  Education in Uasin Gishu has  finally transferred the embattled Kipsangui Boys  principal Richard  Tuimur after  a  series of demonstrations  by the  students  and a Section of  Kispangui Residents.

The move comes barely a week after the second attempt by the students to torch the school dormitory last week.

Mr. Tuimuru has been accused of mismanagement and misuse of the schools funds by a section of the parents and the community,

“Many of the students have been punished because of lack of school fees, corporal punishment has been outlawed in Kenya but the principal has always suppressed grievances from the stakeholders instead of addressing them”Said one the Parents.

Mr  Tuimur’s foibles  for the  last three years has  been his intransigence in addressing pressing  challenges  raised  by the  students over  the poor state of the  schools  dormitories and other  critical infrastructure that  has continuously  forced the  students to go on rampage.

The Principal has also been accused of compromising education officers within  Soy Sub County hence his  hardheadedness in addressing the challenges that could have led to loss of lives in the latest attempt by the students to torch the school’s  dormitory.

“Kipsangui Boys was built  in 1975 this is the  first time we  are  experiencing this kind of  challenges , lately  the school had  become a police post with  armed officers manning the school 24hrs , what kind of  a learning environment  was that , it’s clear the  principle  has  no requisite management  skills” Said Mr  John Bor a resident of  Kipsangui .

The Uasin Gishu County Director of  Education Hassan Khalif has  assured  parents and students of Kispangui  that all  challenges  raised by the  stakeholders are being  addressed.
