Mr. Machogu referred to these teachers as criminals and called for their immediate arrest by the police. In an interview with the Nation on Thursday,
Machogu expressed his distress over the recent incidents of brutality reported in the two counties and warned that those found guilty would face termination of their employment and prosecution for causing harm to the pupils.
“This is so disturbing and criminal! It is no longer an educational matter, it is a criminal matter, if a teacher goes to that extent, then he is a criminal and he is no longer a teacher,” said Mr Machogu.
The Kisii County Police Commander, Charles Kases, confirmed that three teachers involved in the latest incident had been arrested on Wednesday and would be charged in court later that day. However, one teacher and a security guard were still at large.
