Parents sue Jacob Kaimenyi over school fees

Kenya: Two parents have sued Education Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi for what they say is failure to crack the whip on school principals who are charging exorbitant fees for Form One admissions.

Michael Mutinda and Wilson Shivachi, in their petition filed under a certificate of urgency before High Court Judge Weldon Korir, argued that prof Kaimenyi has failed to ensure that schools charge minimal fees in compliance with the Government's promise to offer free and basic education to all school going children.
