Whats really happening in kenya.This middle class mentality of accept and move on and not asking the hard questions is our greatest bane.Now how how does a public high school supported by the Government with Teachers on the Government payroll charge more than a private high school whose foremost objective is to make profits.How now does one public School charge double the other in the same country(my nephew has an admission letter from Ribe High with an annual fees of KShs.56,000, Kisii High's annual fees is approximately 110,000. As we run helter skelter chasing the ghosts of corruption in Govt bealive me High School principals are the latest Millionaires we are minting from corruption.

Those places in national schools that are not being picked up by poor students are being sold off to parents with money by the principals. National schools had intakes of 300 students average, so if 50 do not turn up and he/she can sell a spot for Kes50,000; that's 2.5 million easy cash.

What if all the parents declined to pay the ridiculously high school fees? Let ALL the students stay at home?

1. Dumping ama?

2. Dont quite get the last paragraph, fafanua?

Ati Kisii University keroka Campus,UON Taita Taveta Campus surely hata kama.It sounds so preposterous but its true that some students will graduate without ever having been to a major commercial centre in kenya.

Between MKU charges 110k pa for a law Degree while UON charges 174 pa for the same.The rate at which MKU is acquiring commercial buildings in the CBD of towns all over kenya can just tell you how much is generated from this enterprise.Does UNES ever declare Dividends ama where does that money go.

Meanwhile how does anybody in his right mind expect a parent who was unable to afford Kshs 40,000/= ( the fees in most average private schools) to pay Kshs. 120,000/= in a top national school?

someone answer this question.

KAJIADO, KENYA: A 43-year-old man in Ngong, Kajiado County has committed suicide over lack of school fees as form one students report to school.

The deceased who hails from Ngong’s Gichagi area hanged himself on a tree in Kibiko forest after leaving his home in the morning where he had informed his wife and children that he had gone to his work place, as usual.

Reports indicate that the deceased, a father of six, who was masonry and worked in building and construction sites, had secured a job in Nairobi.

According to his workmates, the deceased, who had a child joining form one had earlier complained of high school fees considering the meager pay from his casual job.

Henry Kinuthia, a neighbor told The Standard that the deceased was in good mood despite the problems he had raised.

“The deceased left in the morning but his workmates called later to inquire why he had failed to report to his work place,” Kinuthia told The Standard.

Kinuthia said the school fee for secondary schools has alarmed parents and children from poor families.

Ngong Police boss, Mohamed Farah confirmed the incident and said the deceased’s body was found dangling on a tree in Kibiko forest by women who were fetching firewood.

“The deceased body was found dangling on a tree in Kibiko forest by women who reported the matter to police. We have launched investigations over the matter,” Farah told The Standard.
