Readmit pupil or go to jail, Kilifi court directs head teacherA head teacher in Kilifi County risks paying a fine of Sh5 million or a five-year jail term for chasing away a Standard Eight pupil at the centre of a defilement case. The school head also faces charges of degrading and discriminating the pupil and a six-month jail term for contempt of court. A magistrate’s court ordered Fumbini Primary School head Bojo Chilani to re-admit the 16 -year-old boy. The head teacher expelled the boy after news of defilement reached the school and asked the parents to iron matters with the victim’s parents. The Magistrate said the headteacher will be charged in Court if he failed to honor the Court order.
