Woman Withdraws Daughters From School, Believes New Curriculum is Satanic

A woman in Kibra was, on Monday, arrested when she withdrew her two daughters from school claiming that the new curriculum was satanic.

Lilian Manyasi, who is believed to belong to a cult, kept her children from school over her religious beliefs.

She added that the NEMIS system was being used to introduce children to demonic activities.

"The NEMIS system that the government has introduced, the prophets (of her church) had visions that the tracking number for students is demonic," she told journalists.

The girls' father, George Ouma, was visibly distraught over his wife's decision adding that she joined the cult that was guiding her actions.

"When I told them (the girls) to go to school they refused saying that the Holy Spirit had advised them no to," he conveyed.

Manyasi, however, remained adamant affirming that she would not back down in teaching the children of her religious beliefs.

"If I have to I will take them to do an artisan course even if it is embroidery," she stated. 

Neighbours intervened and reported the matter to the area chief when the children, both students of Spurgeons Academy, refused to go to school claiming that "it was not what God aspired for them".

Human rights activist Everlyn Bowa forwarded the case to the police explaining that the children had held firm that they would not return to school.

"When they are asked whether they have access to healthcare they say medicines add illness to the body," Bowa explained.

According to Ministry of Education, NEMIS is web-based data management solution which collects data and information from education institutions, processes and reports the status of designed indicators, and provides the sector a solid ground for effective management to ensure that every Learner counts.

The online platform tracks performance mobility of learners and teaching staff to ensure efficiency and effective utilization of education resources.
