Chaos erupted at Dr Aggrey Boys High School in Wundanyi, on Wednesday after angry parents clashed with the Board of Management (BOM) over a Sh5 million fine for burnt dormitories.

The BOM has directed students to pay Sh2,500 each for reconstruction of the dormitories, and to clear fee arrears before they are allowed back.
