According to the candidates, they travel to the school from the guest house every morning to do the national exams and go back in the evening, Daily Nation reported.

Two of the girls noted they were accused of being indisciplined and were expelled the last week to the start of the national examinations.

“I was accused of harassing a prefect and now I feel depressed because I feel bad being away from school,” one of the girls was quoted.

“I was expelled because I was found in possession of a fruit knife and was accused of bullying,” the second girl said.

However, the third student said she was sent home in second term and as a result did not attend classes in third term.

“I requested for a drug test but the principal could hear none of it. She took me to a police station, accompanied by some teachers and a security guard, where I spent the night,” said the other girl.

“The following day, I was sent home with no expulsion nor a suspension letter. I have been studying from home since then,” the student added.

Confirming the situation, Uasin Gishu County Director of Education Gitonga Mbaka said that they have launched investigations into this matter.

The parents of the three have decried the fact that the candidates will have to lodge outside the school for almost a month while doing their national examinations.

Protesting their expulsion and the fact that they stay outside the school, their parents on Tuesday, November 5, said they are afraid this will make them perform poorly

“We now fear that, given the conditions our daughters are studying under, they will, most likely, perform poorly. Honestly, they are traumatized and humiliated,” said one parent.

They further accused the school of failing to give the students fair hearing before punishing them.

One of the candidates comes from Eldoret but not near the school while the other two come from Kisii and Kisumu hence why they had to lodge a house around their school.

Their parents have now called on the Education Minister Prof George Magoha to help them solve the standoff.

The school principal was not available to comment on the matter.
