Six teachers are living with their families in classrooms in Uthiru, Kiambu, after they were ejected from their rental houses for failing to pay rent. In April, their employer and school director Florence Wamakima intervened and accommodated them in some of the classrooms. “We were no longer able to pay house rent or meet other basic needs. The teachers occupy some of the classrooms on the fourth and fifth floors of the five-storey complex. She said before Covid struck, she had no problems paying teachers and other staff members but since parents no longer pay school fees, she is unable to pay salaries.
