Kangaru School Dissolved, New Readmission To Take Place

Kangaru Senior School has been dissolved.

This comes after the school sent students home this morning shortly after they reported back from a strike during the recent school unrests.

The learners have left with their belongings, and the school will conduct a new re-admission process in the coming days.

The students will be readmitted afresh after the latest unrest according to the management after being involved in three (3) strikes this year which has raised serious concerns.

In a previous notice the administration through the Chief Principal of the school had directed all students to report to the school on Saturday, 13th June 2026, at exactly 10:00 am to collect their boxes and academic materials.

According to a notice issued by the Chief Principal, all students were required to be dressed in full school uniform and be accompanied by their parents or guardians without fail.

Parents/guardians and students were advised to strictly adhere to the stated requirements and reporting time to facilitate a smooth and orderly exercise.

The readmission process may see some especially ringleaders and masterminders of the strikes out of the institution which the management assures not to spare.

In the past years Kangaru School has been a reputable school which has earned its fame both in discipline and academically. But in the recent times the fame is gradually dwindling off following recent unrests.

RESHUFFLE: Bitok Out Of Education Docket, Ololtuaa Takes Over

 President William Ruto has reassigned Basic Education Principal Secretary Amb. Prof. Julius Bitok to the State Department for Tourism, with Tourism Principal Secretary John Lekakeny Ololtuaa taking over the education docket.

The changes were announced on Tuesday in a notification of presidential action issued by Chief of Staff and Head of the Public Service Felix K. Koskei.

According to the notice, Bitok and Ololtuaa have swapped positions, with Bitok moving to Tourism and Ololtuaa taking charge of Basic Education.

The Executive Office of the President said the reassignments were sanctioned by President Ruto and take effect immediately.
The notification, dated June 9, 2026, was signed by Koskei. In March 2025, Bitok took over as PS Basic Education after swapping dockets with Belio Kipsang, who moved to Immigration. 

Ololtuaa takes over the Basic Education docket at a time when the government is grappling with a wave of school unrest and fires that have led to the closure of several learning institutions across the country.

Bitok has also been under fire lately over his approach to unrest across schools. In the recent past, schools have seen learners go on strike, with others setting the institutions ablaze in show of disapproval to various routine issues, including examinations' schedules. In his reaction, Bitok faulted school heads for not listening to the learners. He warned school administrations for neglecting student concerns, pointing to exam timetables as a trigger for unrest. He argued that learners often resort to burning schools out of frustration, urging heads to engage them instead of forcing exams or unwanted activities.

 He also faulted parents for shielding children from discipline, stressing their role in shaping responsible behaviour. His argument was however dismissed by some quarters, which argued he was mishandling the technical responsibility he had been entrusted with of providing policy guidance to the president and the country.  

VIDEO: 3 Reasons Why The 7 Students Burnt Utumishi Girls Academy Killing 16

The seven students arrested by detectives over the tragic fire outbreak at Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil have revealed three reasons why they set the dormitory on fire in the wee hours of Thursday, May 28:

1. According to reports, the girls, who are still in custody revealed to the investigators that they were aggrieved by the school's decision to change examination dates from June 16 to June 2. 

2. The suspects also disclosed that the school administration's decision to charge them for an upcoming cultural event irked them, prompting them to stage a protest. 

3. Peer influence from a neighbouring boy's school that had gone on strike a few days before Thursday also influenced the girls' decision to burn the dormitory, according to investigators. The plan was reportedly hatched at 9 pm on Thursday and executed three hours later at 12:00 am. 

Video 👇👇👇

It is suspected that Form 3 students were the masterminds of the tragic inferno that killed 16 girls and left others with injuries. 

According to the school administration, Form 3 students retire to bed at 9:35 pm while their Form 4 counterparts end their evening preps at 10: 45 pm. A student who survived the incident claimed a section of Form 3 students were overheard planning the attack a few hours before it happened. 

Reports also indicate two teachers were informed about the impending arson attack, but they ignored it. Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos Ogamba directed the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to take disciplinary action against the two teachers for negligence. Ogamba also disclosed that the school principal would be held to account for failing to ensure the school adhered to safety protocols outlined in the safety manual. Investigators are still pursuing other leads to unravel what transpired before, during and after the deadly incident that shocked the country. 

Some of the questions the detectives are seeking answers for include establishing how the suspects got paraffin and matchsticks they used to burn the dormitory. They suspect some outsiders could have helped in the planning and execution of the tragic arson attack. 

The seven suspects will be arraigned in court on Tuesday, June 2, to face several charges including arson and malicious damage to property.

Of the eight suspects previously arrested, six have been positively identified and confirmed through the footage. The seventh identified student was among those earlier released to their parents and is currently not in custody. Efforts are now underway to trace and arrest her.

The Fool Behind Spewing Inflammatory Remarks Against Kikuyus Arrested

 SUSPECT BEHIND VIRAL INFLAMMATORY POSTS ARRESTED IN MOMBASA

Detectives have apprehended David Onyango Elgon, aka MC Adek Tatu, the mastermind behind insensitive and inflammatory social media posts that have sparked widespread public outcry.

The offensive content, which was published on the suspect's Facebook account (MC Adek Tatu), has since gone viral across various social media platforms, threatening public order and peace. He later deleted the post after public backlash though many Kenyans on social media had already taken screenshots of the same.

Kenyans expressed outrage after the content creator allegedly celebrated the deaths of 16 students at Utumishi Girls Academy after the deadly dormitory fire.

According to the viral posts, he expressed hatred towards a particular community in Kenya, wishing that all the deaths had come from the region. The posts drew widespread backlash among Kenyans and leaders who have demanded the National Police Service (NPS) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations arrest and prosecute him over the tribal remarks. 

Hours after gaining online traction, the controversial Tiktoker claimed that the 'outrageous posts' were made during a national tragedy, claiming his account was hacked. 

"Those outrageous posts were posted without my knowledge. Those sentiments are not attributed to me, and neither do they portray who I am. I strongly condemn such posts with utter remorse," he said, condemning divisions based on political beliefs. 

In one of his egregious video, he is seen spewing distasteful remarks against a Kenyan community against (Kikuyu) claiming they add no value to the county. He further associates Kikuyus with all manner of vices which is seen to trigger tribal and ethnic hatred.

Acting swiftly on actionable intelligence, a team of detectives launched a manhunt, trailing the suspect to his hideout at Queen’s Court in Utange, Mombasa County, where he was arrested in his residential house.

The suspect is currently in custody, undergoing processing ahead of his arraignment.

Morgan Media reminds netizens that the digital space is not a lawless jungle. While we enjoy the freedom of expression, publishing or distributing inflammatory posts that incite public outcry and divide us as a nation is a crime. The public should use social media platforms responsibly.

Police Arrest 4 Students For Burning Dorm At St. Pauls Githakwa Girls, Nyeri

Story by Sammie Mugane

Police have arrested four (4) students who allegedly set alight a dorm at St. Pauls Githakwa Girls High School in Tetu, Nyeri County.

Three form 3 students and one in form four are said to have burnt down Sister Irene Nyaatha Dormitory after altercations over skirts  and blouses theft in the  school.

The girls are said to have connived and set the dorm ablaze and the inferno razed down  45 beds, beddings, boxes containing personal belongings and books, and other valuables.

Neighbours and locals areived at the scene and helped to put off the fire before spreading to other structures. 

Fortunately all 43 form 3 girls and grade 10 learners survived the chilling incident.

Preliminary investigations revealed the fire was first spotted by a form 3  student who was returning  to bed after answering a call of nature.

Further investigations also unravel that the school burning plan was hatched during an interschool rally on Sunday May 26. 

Further probing one of the arrested students was found with a container  believed to jave ferried the inflammable substance used in the inferno while others were found with matchsticks.

This comes barely days in the wake of the deadly school fire at Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil where 16 girls lost their lives, scores seriously injured and property worth millions of shillings destroyed.

In the same day students of Gacharage Girls High School in Murang'a also set ablaze their dorm. This raises alot of concern why only girls in this era are leading in school arsons unlike previous years when it was a norm for boys schools to dorminate in this vice.

It is alleged examinophobia (anxiety or fear associated with exams) is the major cause of the fires as students pelt their anger on mere issues and loath for the papers especially mock exams. 

School heads and administrators are urged to be vigilant so as to curb and counter such incidences before they are planned and when they occur.

VIDEO: Kutus 'Ex-Insane Woman' Fully Recovers From What Started As Depression

Fridah Wairimu Wambura, aged 39 from Kithiriti in Mwea Constituency, Kirinyaga County happens to have succumbed depression. She is not new to the residents of Kutus and neighbouring towns. 

She mostly used to camp at the Kutus carpark lot adjacent to Kutus Comprehensive School near the transportation lorries where she would smoke, chew miraa wastes and make all necessary noise that would make her happy.

She got engrossed to this lifestyle which according to her was normal life. 

Mostly she would be cladded in tatters and would barely take bath - she minded her own business. 🙈

She would brave all the challenges of weather as she had no shelter to scamper from rain, scorching sun and for safety. 

Many knew her as 'chizi wa Kutus' (Kutus mad woman) but now is currently totally healed from the condition. While being interviewed by Morgan Media Tv Fridah disclosed she has been battling with acute depression for sometime, a condition which took her to the streets as a beggar and mentally handicapped casualty. 

Live interview video 👇👇👇

Fridah used to be a miraa trader and had thrived well in the business. Worst happened after separating from her estranged husband.  Fridah seemed okey but ostensibly had gradually sunk into depression and dejection from her friends and close family members who could not understand and feel her plight. 

Eventually she moved in to the streets of Kutus where she scavenged food from trash bins and garbage skips. She literally made the streets her home where she slept and enjoyed her life. This also made her to become a victim of drug addiction where she smoke and chewed miraa wastes... An ending sad story about Fridah can not be penned down here.... She really suffered in the streets until a time for her life turn-around came.

 Fridah was later taken to hospital on 26th September 2025 where she was diagnosed with acute depression. She was admitted for 2 months, treated and given a prescription of antidepressant drugs which alleviated the condition. She got into a consistent medication and now she confesses she is fully healed and normal. She confessed to me she is not the same abnormal person she was in the streets. I remember when she was in that condition I could buy her some foodstuffs hoping one day she would get healed and fully recover.

She is now a happy, healthy, demure and bubbly lady. 

Am glad she was able to confide to me many things about depression as we enjoyed breakfast together in a hotel in Kutus Town. Viewer and listener if you would like to be a blessing to Fridah you can reach her on 0736 272 472. She will give you an M-PESA phone number which you can use to channel your support. Together let's help her rise and shine again. Together we can help her get her own hustle which can enable her eke out a living.

Sharing is caring.

Caring is sharing.

 God bless you all!

God indeed had great plans for the kid to survive! Passersby heard faint cries coming somewhere in a shamba.
Alas! they found the partly buried kid that had soil allover the face.

They dug the baby out of the soil and rescued it which was later taken to hospital for further emergency health checkup.
