A senior official of a secondary school in Kiminini, Trans-Nzoia County, is under investigation over the alleged beating of a Form Three student, in a case that has sparked student protests and drawn condemnation from human rights activists.
The Ministry of Education has launched a probe into the incident, in which the female student is alleged to have been beaten on her thighs for lateness and absenteeism in June.
Trans-Nzoia County Director of Education Pamela Akello confirmed that the matter was under investigation and said she had directed the county Teachers Service Commission (TSC) office to establish what happened and take appropriate action.
