Parents of Litein Boys High School Students Seeks court protection over high damages demanded by the school management
Parents and teachers’ association of lutein secondary school have instructed their lawyers to file their agent application seeking to stop the school management from demanding a hooping ksh 69 million arising from student strike.
The PTA instructed lawyers Danstan Omari Samson Nyaberi and Shadrack Wambui to seek the orders from the superior court to halt the school management from demanding the collosial sum of money.
The lawyers, while addressing journalists at Milimani law courts, said the school has a total of 1500 students whose parents are required to pay ksh 49,000each in order for their students to return to school.
The parents say the board of the management privately called a quantity surveyor from Nakuru who privately conducted their assessment of properties destroyed by students.
The surveyor came up with a figure of ksh 99 million, which was later scalled down to ksh 69 million, which the PTA considered to be on the higher side.
The lawyers said that the school had several strikes, the recent being the third one, and it is upon school management to find a lasting solution to stop future strikes.
The PTA further complains that the school management has only called the form 1 student and form two’s, thus leaving out the form 4 students who are to sit for their national examination next week.
