Share
A dispute over school lunch fees at Forest Primary School in Kiminini Constituency, Trans Nzoia County, has sparked public outrage after a video allegedly showing teachers assaulting a parent and restraining her hands circulated on social media.
Reports indicate that the woman visited the school to question the lunch levies before the disagreement reportedly escalated into a physical confrontation involving teachers and her father, who attempted to intervene.
In a video circulating on social media, the woman is reportedly seen with her hands tied together as a confrontation unfolds at the school.
She can be heard appealing to her father to help, telling him that she was already bleeding.
“Look, Dad, I am bleeding,” the lady said.
The video also captures a tense exchange involving the lady’s father, who appears to be recording the incident.
At one point, a voice is heard questioning why he is taking a video, with the words, “Kwa nini unachukua video?” and the father is also heard asking whether someone intends to take his phone.

Reports futher allege that the woman and her father were later locked inside the staffroom as the incident unfolded.
However, the circumstances leading to the confrontation remain unclear, and the allegations have not been independently verified by the school or authorities by the time of publication.
The video has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with several Kenyans expressing shock over the alleged treatment of the parent and calling for investigations.
One Kenyan, Robertô, questioned why the woman had allegedly been restrained and tied up like a thief yet she was just inquiring from the school.
“Why tie somebody’s mother like a thief!?”
Another, imyator, called on the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to arrest those responsible if the allegations were established.
He questioned how a disagreement over school lunch payments could escalate into a physical confrontation, arguing that parents should be able to raise concerns about school charges without fear of violence.
Despite the criticism directed at the teachers, some Kenyans urged the public to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident before reaching conclusions.
