ROBERT KARIUKI PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS PROTEST AGAINST LAND GRABBING INCIDENT


AIC Nakuluja primary school pupils were joined by their teachers and parents as they staged a peaceful demonstration protesting against an alleged land grabber who allegedly scooped part of the school’s land and put up his own structure. The demonstrators headed to the Governor’s office where they expected the county head to address their grievances and provide a solution to a situation which has been rather a lot weighty for the school committee to handle. A girls’ dormitory construction was expected to kick off on the part of land that was allegedly grabbed by a popular business man.
Speaking on behalf of the protesters at the Governor’s office, AIC church Reverend David Nakain complained that as per now the pupils are not learning in a conducive environment because of the regular disruptions they have been put through.

Governor Nanok urged the protesters to calm down and promised that the school premises will be secured to prevent anyone from constructing inside the school compound until the court reaches a decision.


At the moment the court has issued an order stopping any activity going on in the controversial land as police carry on with investigations.
