Pressure is increasing on the TSC to transfer Rebecca Chawiya, the principal of Ack Rae Girls High School, due to allegations of illegal levies and mismanagement of school resources


As the third term approaches its conclusion, there are speculations and expectations that Rae Girls High School will appoint a new principal for the first term of 2026.

  Parents express a strong desire for Principal Rebecca's name to be at the top of the transfer list. The parents have now stated that if the TSC is unable to act and fails to transfer her, they will resort to taking matters into their own hands by preventing her from accessing the school in January. But what could be the underlying reasons for the parents and stakeholders' discontent with the principal? Firstly, she is perceived as a lone decision-maker who does not seek consultation before making significant decisions. Her leadership approach is characterized by authoritarianism, intimidation, and threats directed at those who hold differing opinions. What concerns the parents the most is her ability to coerce both the board and the Parents' Association into approving illegal actions. According to sources, the principal implemented a school fee increase in a rather cunning manner. Last year, parents contributed Sh5,000 each for the construction of a dormitory. It is crucial to note that this dormitory has yet to materialize. Consider that Sh5,000 multiplied by 1,500 parents amounts to a staggering Sh7.5 million. This year, they have introduced an additional fee of Sh5,000, labeled as a development and activity fee. Furthermore, parents are also paying a Sh3,000 remedial fee. Thus, the total of Sh8,000 multiplied by 1,500 students equals Sh12 million. Is this not a blatant act of theft? The EACC is now being urged to investigate how this Sh12 million was mismanaged and ended up in the hands of individuals. The parents are extremely frustrated with the principal and are now advocating for the appointment of a new leader, referred to as the "daughter of the soil."

  The most recent report from the Auditor General for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, has uncovered mismanagement at Enoomatasiani High School under the administration of Principal Tabitha Mbabu (TSC No. 224359). There are calls for her transfer over mismanagement and not very impressive academic excellence under her leadership. As per the report, the statement of receipts and payments indicates that the school's fund income from parents' contributions amounts to Kshs. 89,627,445, as detailed in Note 4 of the financial statements. An examination of the school's fee structure during the review period revealed that the school fees were raised beyond the limits set by the Ministry of Education (MOE), resulting in an unauthorized increase in annual fees of Kshs. 15,000 for form one students and Kshs. 18,000 for students in other classes. This action contravenes Regulation 44 of the Basic Education Regulations, 2015, which stipulates that no public school or instit...

A report from the Auditor General for the period ending June 30, 2024, has issued serious recommendations regarding the management led by Principal Jane Mureithi, who took charge on May 23, 2022. The report indicates that the school is technically insolvent and is operating at a deficit, leading to significant pending bills. The report reveals that the statement of assets and liabilities shows a current liabilities balance of Kshs. 27,728,458, which surpasses the current assets balance of Kshs. 22,763,448, resulting in a negative working capital of Kshs. 4,965,010.

Under these circumstances, the school may struggle to fulfill its short-term financial obligations as they become due. The statement of assets and liabilities indicates an accounts...
