As if we have not heard enough of children, a student at Nabakholo in Kakamega County is the latest talk after setting a dorm on fire. The student claims and reasons for his actions were that the learning environment was not friendly to him and many of his fellow students speak in vernacular languages which he is not familiar with.
The headteacher also said that the student confessed to smoking marijuana but when the officers investigated the claims they did not find any evidence in the student’s belongings.
Although the dormitory in question that hosted 40 students was not burnt, only two mattresses and the belongings of the two students who slept there were destroyed.
The headteacher said that they had relocated the 40 students since they might be in fear of such incident.
They have encouraged teachers and school leaders that they should be aware of the things the students come in with at school.
No one was hurt in the incident
