irate parents demand
By Daniel Mutinda
Parents at St. Stephen Kanyonga Secondary School today demanded the transfer of the School principal Rhapeal Mwanza for poor Management of the school .
Speaking to The Anchor, the parents decried poor exam results, embezzlement of funds and non cooperation of the principal with the parents and school board .
Documents seen by The Anchor show the school BOM wrote a letter to the County Director TSC dated September,9 2022 requesting for evaluation and audit of the school principal.
The board wants the TSC director to investigate , alcoholism, absenteeism, and misappropriation of funds in the school.
The board alleges that in July 2022, the school withdrew Kes.280,000 illegally with the former signatories which could not be accounted for.
Further the BOM wants TSC to invistigate use of Kes. 91, 200 given to the principal in cash as an open cheque to pay teaching staff and non teaching staff.
It was confirmed by an audit report done by the Makueni County Auditor Scolarstica Malii dated November 26, 2022 that there was no transparency and accountability therefore funds could not be accounted for in the school.
Parents want the school principal and the deputy transferred citing incompetence to run the institution.
They expressed disatisfaction over the school's performance of a mean grade of D- (minus ) for two consecutive years. (2021& 2022)
County Director TSC Makueni Alex Cheruiyot confirmed the issues in the school and promised they shall be resolved and a full report given.
