Parents association can be reconstituted

Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i recently declared the Musau Ndunda-led Kenya National Association of Parents (KNAP) a moribund outfit. This, effectively, sounded the death knell for KNAP as schools were barred from further remitting monies to the outfit on parents’ behalf.

In fact, some school heads are already threatening KNAP with demand letters for refund of remittances. Barring the fact that KNAP has been in existence for close to two decades, it is apparent that the ground on which KNAP operated had, legally, long shifted.
