A section of MPs from Kakamega County have called for the transfer of senior education officials accused of soliciting bribes from teachers and school heads.

Led by Ikolomani MP Bernard Shinali, the lawmakers accused the Ikolomani Sub-County Director of Education of running a reign of intimidation that has left teachers working in fear.
