students of class eight had just left for home after having their own
personal tuition for the day before the classroom was brought down
following a heavy rain that swept a way desks, chairs
books and seedlings that were to be planted after the reopening of
school this term.” Said the Head teacher.

floods saying there was a similar case that had taken place in 2009
where also over 65 peoples were also affected by
the same incident.

Primary in class 1, 2, and 3 are all terrified by the incident that has
disrupted normal learning in the school. Mwaura also said some other
peoples are not willing to go to classes forcing
others to stay at home.

in the school compound and when ever they hear a rain drop they all
scatter in fear and start getting packing to go home” said Mwaura.
The chairman of the Board of Directors BOD
Joseph K Njoroge said their efforts to get to meet with their area MP
John Mututho to help them have been fruitless saying he is not picking
their calls.
“We have tried to get any help from our
area MP Mututho but still every time we give him a call he is not
picking our calls which makes us wonder who else to turn to in
this time of need.”said the Chairman of the BOD.
