LOCAL NEWS ROBERT KARIUKI 11-10-2014 LAND GRABBING AFFECTS A SCHOOL IN LODWAR



Lodwar mixed primary school management committee earlier  held a meeting with the parents to discuss land grabbing issue that is currently affecting the school activities. The meeting took place at the school’s main hall where the committee and parents shared ideas on what actions to take in stopping individuals and institutions who are grabbing land belonging to the school.
The school committee has already taken a step in meeting the involved parties’ months ago and so far they have shown no response hence the decision to meet the parents. Part of the school playing ground has been grabbed by individuals while PAG church has taken over the school E.C.D centre. Speaking at the school after the meeting, Mr. Joseph, who is a parent, said he has been cooperating with the school management in trying to solve the issue.
Speaking also about the same, Lodwar mixed primary Head teacher, James Akoyo, said they have held several meetings but they have bared no fruits.
Parents contributed money during the meeting to help in the construction of a gate which will be in place in the next 2 weeks.
