Pressure on the new principal Kabare Girls to perform

 


Stakeholders at Kabare Girls High School are expressing their dissatisfaction with Principal Madam Wambui Njoroge, asserting that she has not been able to fill the significant role left by her predecessor. A group of parents, teachers, board members, and PA members are concerned about whether Wambui can uphold the high academic standards previously established, especially with the 2025 target aiming for a mean score of 9.7. Sources indicate that nearly a year after she assumed her position, most of the progress achieved by Lillian Muhini has been undone, and the school is slowly becoming a mere shadow of its former self. Parents have observed a decline in student discipline, as Wambui appears indifferent to maintaining order among the students. Incidents of indiscipline have increased, surpassing the levels seen during Lillian's seven-year leadership. Some parents now assert that incidents of lesbianism are on the rise, and the administration is taking minimal action to address the issue. Reports of such incidents have allegedly been made, but Wambui seems hesitant to implement significant measures. Teachers and non-teaching staff have also reported her authoritarian behavior. Those who hold differing views are subjected to victimization, while PA members are coerced, intimidated, and threatened into endorsing irregularities. Furthermore, it is claimed that during her year in charge, outstanding bills have surged, as suppliers report that they are not receiving payments as they did during Lillian's administration. For these reasons, stakeholders are urging the TSC and the Ministry of Education to consider transferring Wambui to another institution by the end of this year, with the hope that a new principal will take over the school next year.

  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...
