School Principal’s Death Threatens To Disrupt KCSE Exams
The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has warned to disrupt the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) in Kakamega County if the government does not take action following the suspected murder of a secondary school principal.
The Munyuki Secondary School Principal, who had gone missing for several days, was discovered discarded in the Kipkaren River on Saturday, November 8.
According to sources, the teacher’s death was staged as an accident, but it is believed that the principal was tortured and killed before being tossed in the river.
KUPPET Chairman in Kakamega County, Johnston Wabuti, stated that the union will bar all school principals in the region from KCSE exam centers until those responsible for the principal’s death have been arrested.

“The principal was fondly dumped in a river, and the body was badly mutilated, and we are very sad, and if there is no report to explain to us who did this, we shall be forced to disrupt exams in this region,” Wabuti said.
According to Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula, security agencies must ensure that everyone involved in the teacher’s death, regardless of status, is arrested.
“The teacher was killed and dumped into the river. We want to know what really happened and if anyone is found responsible, whether he is a politician or another senior person, he should be arrested immediately,” Savula said.
Members of the union accused the administration of not taking the incident seriously because “he is just a teacher and not other officials”.
They stated that security services should conduct rapid and thorough investigations to guarantee that such situations do not occur again.
“Teachers’ lives matter because we are sure if this were another big person in the government, there could have been arrests that have been made already, but because it is a teacher, this entire process is taking very long,” one of the union’s members said.
The event occurred one month after another teacher from the Garissa Teachers College was assassinated, prompting boda boda operators and teachers in the area to protest on Monday, October 13.
According to accounts, the 27-year-old instructor was attacked by three unidentified people in Garissa Town on Saturday, October 11.

The three people are claimed to have stopped the teacher while he was running errands on his motorcycle before assaulting him.
The instructor was transported to Garissa County Referral Hospital, where he died from his injuries.
“We are losing very young teachers and boda boda,” one protester said.
“If you look at this teacher, he was not even married, and he didn’t have any children, but he was hard-working. What we want is justice for the teachers.”
