Girls accused of lesbianism to be counselled

By LINAH BENYAWA

Girls at a school in Kilifi County who had been sent home over allegations of lesbianism will undergo counselling.

The Moi Kadzonzo Girls Secondary School principal Dorris Kavuku Wednesday said some them had confessed verbally and in writing that they had been involved in the practice.

"These things happen but our aim is to correct the girls so that we can improve the school’s performance. They have admitted engaging in lesbianism and we are planning to have a counselling session session for them after classes," she added.

Ms Kavuku said some of the girls are back in school.

"Majority of the affected girls are back in school except a few whose parents failed to co-operate and stormed out of the school in anger," said Kavuku.

Parents and religious leaders Wednesday flocked the school following the report. Bishop Anthony Charo of Mariakani Pastors Fellowship expressed shock, saying a lasting solution must be found.

"Whatever happens we have a responsibility to the entire community that’s why we are here," said Charo.
