A primary school teacher at a school located along Mwiki Kasarani road has turned the institution into a cash cow. The senior teacher has been demanding Sh8,000 from each new pupil reporting for the first time to the school. Sadly, many parents have complained that there is no official receipt issued for the money they pay in cash amid claims of a fraud scheme. Before new pupils are allowed into the school the senior teacher insists on the upfront payment of the money against the government's policy on free primary education in public schools. The teacher alongside compromised members of the parent's association have been fleecing parents for a bout two years now. Unhappy parents are now threatening to hold protests in the coming days if the local education office does not rein in on the rogue senior teacher.
