One of Kenya’s most prestigious schools, Alliance Girls High School, is at the centre of a storm over what the government and parents describe as inflated fees, illegal levies and questionable financial practices.

The controversy follows a damning investigative report by the Ministry of Education that has exposed systemic financial mismanagement and exploitation of parents by the school’s Board of Management (BOM) and administration.
