Ministry should protect Sosiana principal, take on officers who castigated her

The media was recently awash with the story of  the secondary school teacher who trekked 20 Kilometres to deliver exams for her students. This story has caught the public’s attention because it is the reality of many Kenyans; bad roads and poor delivery of public services. It reflects what thousands of rural teachers undergo to ensure candidates sit their exams. The Daily Nation earlier this week reported that the principal “endures the morning chill and trudges through the muddy Murkan-Sosiana Road that is full of bushes and boulders. She crosses the seasonal River Kibailuk and finally scales a hill to where the school is situated….”  It is difficult to understand why a teacher would be victimised for going beyond the call of duty to make the right to education a reality for all.
