Millions of shillings donated by well-wishers, along with the land of Gatoto Primary School are at the heart of a dispute that threatens to disrupt the education of over 1,000 learners in Mukuru Kwa Reuben.

This emerged after the school's Board of Management (BOM) raised concerns about a forceful and illegal attempt to transfer the school from private to public management.
