Parents, stakeholders demand immediate transfer of Emmily Onyango of Kaborok Girls


As the third term approaches its conclusion and form four students prepare for the KCSE, which signifies the end of their four-year secondary education, the situation at Kaborok Girls High School is worrying.

Stakeholders are expressing their discontent with Principal Emilly Onyango, urging the TSC to facilitate her immediate transfer. Sources indicate that the primary motivation behind these calls for her transfer is the declining and inconsistent academic performance.

It is imperative to note that the school’s dwindling academic performance of the high turnover of teachers occasioned by Onyango’s arrogance and threats to teachers with divergent views on matters academic policies.

Since her appointment many years ago, the school has maintained stagnated mean score, with no indications of improvement this year. At one point, she requested parents to contribute funds for "passing exams," suggesting an attempt to undermine the integrity of the KCSE 2025.

Her leadership abilities have not met expectations; instead, her approach has been characterized by high-handedness, intimidation, and coercion of teachers, Board, and Parents Association members to endorse illegal practices.

Parents have been burdened with unauthorized levies that she compels PA members to approve without the explicit consent of the Cabinet Secretary for Education, as mandated by the Education Act.

Regarding development, she has failed to initiate any significant projects at the school, despite parents consistently paying development fees each year. The school has substantial debts to suppliers, with payments only made to those willing to offer substantial kickbacks.

Non-teaching staff have also been affected, facing delayed salaries, while Board of Governors teachers are similarly struggling under her administration. Parents and stakeholders are now insisting on her immediate transfer; otherwise, they will prevent her from entering the school when the first term begins next year.

The stakeholders are requesting that the TSC appoint a principal who is a local resident (daughter of the soil) to lead their school.
