A teacher in Naivasha died by suicide after reportedly losing Sh40,000 that was meant for an end-of-term trip for students through betting.
The 26-year-old teacher from a public school took his life by hanging, forcing the management of Unity High School to cancel the long-awaited trip.
In recent weeks, the lakeside town has recorded an increase in suicide cases, mainly involving students and young people.
The teacher had been appointed by the school administration to organise transport for students and was entrusted with the money.
According to Naivasha GBV Cluster Chairperson John Kinuthia, the deceased had managed to secure buses to ferry the students to Nairobi.
