Thursday, February 6, 2025 - The High Court has ruled that Makini School violated the dignity and mental well-being of two minors by expelling them unfairly, awarding them Ksh.600,000 in damages.
Justice Lawrence Mugambi found that the children were removed
from class on July 7, 2023, and handed termination letters by head teacher
Catherine Njuguna, who instructed them to wait for their parents at the pickup
area.
The expulsion allegedly stemmed from a disagreement between
the school and their parent.
Through their mother, the minors sued the institution,
arguing that the decision was unjustified.
Advocate Apollo Mboya, representing them, noted that the
students were top performers with no disciplinary issues.
He condemned the school’s actions as cruel, malicious, and
degrading, causing severe emotional distress.
The court’s ruling affirmed that the expulsion was arbitrary
and unfair, setting a precedent on student rights and school disciplinary
measures.
