Kitale Parents Speaks Over Viral Video Of A Parent Being Assaulted Over School Lunch Levy

Unexpected twist as parents who had earlier stormed Forest Primary School in Kitale over the assault of a guardian captured on camera being assaulted by a teacher for questioning the school lunch levy have now rallied behind the school administration.

Parents in Kitale had earlier visited Forest Primary School seeking answers following a viral video showing a woman identified as Donna Makena with her hands tied as she shouted for help.

The footage sparked public outrage, with many questioning the circumstances that led to the incident and demanding accountability from the school administration.

According to reports, the incident reportedly began after Makena questioned issues surrounding the school lunch levy. The confrontation later escalated, leading to the disturbing scenes captured in the widely circulated video.

However, the situation has taken an unexpected turn after the headteacher shared his account of what allegedly happened with parents, offering a different perspective on the incident.

According to the headteacher, Makena allegedly touched his private parts during the confrontation, raising questions about how the disagreement unfolded and what led to the actions captured in the video.

Following the explanation, some parents took to social media to criticise Makena over the alleged conduct, with a number of them expressing support for the headteacher amid the growing controversy.

The development has sparked further debate among residents and social media users, with differing opinions emerging over the incident and the conduct of those involved.

While some have called for a thorough investigation into the matter, others have urged the public to allow the relevant authorities to establish what transpired before drawing conclusions.

The incident has also raised questions about how disagreements between school administrators and parents should be handled, particularly when allegations of misconduct arise within a learning institution.

The matter has reportedly been left in the hands of the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) and the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), which are expected to deliberate on the issue and determine the appropriate course of action regarding the headteacher's fate.
