Maseno School Board of Management Resigns After Replacement of Former Principal Paul Otula

The Maseno School Board of Management has resigned following the replacement of former Principal Paul Otula by Homa Bay High School Principal Andrew Buop.

The Board, made up of 10 members, expressed disregard for the newly-recruited Principal claiming he had a tainted past.

They asked the Education Ministry and the church to go ahead and manage the school, adding that their services were not needed anymore.

Mr Otula was sent on a compulsory leave last month after a Form One student was allegedly sodomised by senior students.

This caused Maseno students to boycott classes demanding Mr Otula be reinstated.

Board Chairman Carey Orege said investigations over the sodomy claims were carried out in a crude manner.

"We wrote a letter to the TSC over the Maseno issue, then we were called and told investigations was done and everything was okay only to get information that Otula has been interdicted," Ms Orege stated.

"Anywhere the students go they are called names including sodomised which has greatly affected them," PTA Chairman James Obondi added.

Otula was suspended barely a month after former Alliance High School Principal David Kariuki resigned following claims of widespread bullying.

Form One students in Alliance narrated how they were forced to sleep on the graves of some of the school’s founders by the school prefects.
