Students at Lenana School were on Monday sent home indefinitely following demonstrations over the death of a colleague.

They took to the streets following the death of Amos Mumo, who was in Form Three, and accused the administration of trying to cover up the cause of death. According to the students, Mumo had been quarantined at the school’s sanatorium on Saturday after he contracted chicken pox; where his condition worsened.
