Fleecing of parents in Education sector in Kenya

The cartels in Education sector will one early morning close all schools in this country. That you buy a two inch mattress at Sh. 2,550 at school instead of sh. 1750 at any outlet. Double receipting for school fees to further confound the unsuspecting parent at Ng'iya Girls. At Sirembe Mixed, they charged a poor boy in advance for a hair cut to be done within school, sh. 50, instead of sh.20 at any other barber shop. A bucket going for sh.210 within school comparing with sh. 130 at any retail shop. A whooping sh.18,000 for items to be collected in school (school uniform) and a minimum of sh. 37,000 for first term school fees. Less than that, you must go back home with your daughter. I have admitted 11 girls and 14 boys into various schools across Siaya County to begin their secondary school education. I have lost a lot of money that I could save and reallocate to other things had I to purchase non scholastic materials from other retailers. Copied from Peter Akelo
