Court grants Ksh.600,000 compensation to minors expelled from Makini School

The minors were expelled following an alleged disagreement between the school and their parent. On July 7, 2023, the children were reportedly removed from class and handed termination letters by head teacher Catherine Njuguna, who directed them to wait for their parents at the pickup area.

Through their mother, the minors sued the school, claiming the expulsion was unjustified. 

Advocate Apollo Mboya told the court that the minors were top-performing students with no history of disciplinary issues.

He argued that the expulsion subjected the children to cruel, degrading treatment, causing severe emotional distress.

Mboya described the school’s actions as "precipitate, hasty, petty, malicious, capricious, draconian, and discriminatory," emphasizing the profound anguish caused to the minors and their family.
