wrongturn

The management of Bungoma High School has explained why it had to use some Sh3 million to put up a modern gate, complete with a confinement room.
Besides giving the school a new look, administrators said, the gate will help tackle insecurity.
The project, launched last week, has attracted attention on social media platforms, with some Kenyans questioning the management’s priorities
Nation.Africa has established that a meeting has been set up with alumni of the school on April 2 to discuss other infrastructure developments.
The school in Bungoma town sits on 66 acres and has 1,600 students.
It has been rocked by student unrest and fires, among other insecurity incidents.
Western Region Director of Education Stephen Barongo attended a ceremony on Friday to launch the construction of the gate.
Part of the project includes putting up a confinement room where unruly students and suspicious characters will be detained as police are notified.
It will also have an office for security guards and washrooms for visitors. There is a room for the head of school security and a place for visitors to store luggage.
“No visitor will be allowed (into) the school without going through all the security protocols. We believe this will help minimise theft and drug supply in the school,” Principal Enock Andanje said
