Students chase headmaster’s ‘mpango wa kando’

Resident of Kericho County were recently treated to free-for-all drama after students of a secondary school stormed their headmaster’s house and ejected his mpango wa kando. The headmaster, whose wife works and lives in another town, has been having an affair with the woman who happens to be a teacher in a neighbouring school.
The incident occurred after word went round that the woman — popularly known by her nickname ‘Chesing’a’—had been spotted in the school compound. The woman is allegedly very arrogant hence, the nickname.
The affair between the two has been an open secret for some time. According to one student who talked to this writer, the boys were not really aiming at bringing morals to the school. But rather avenging on behalf of their colleague who happens to be the headmaster’s son, after he suffered in the hands of the woman.
The boy revealed to some of his friends how the woman had mistreated him and his two brothers some time around December last year. Allegedly, the principal’s sons had gone to check on their father in the woman’s house after he failed to show up at their home, and couldn’t reach him on his phone.

Upon their arrival to enquire about their dad’s whereabouts, the woman gave them a hostile reception by throwing their father’s belongings at them as she shouted at them.
“Your kids are out here take your belongings and go away with them. I can’t deal with this kind of drama,” she reportedly yelled at the principle, as she shooed away his stupefied sons.
The boy claimed she became hostile and began throwing tantrums when they confronted her and accused her of confusing their father. “We want our father, you are derailing him and making him live here with you whilst neglecting us,” one of the sons admonished her.
She, allegedly, not only threw out the headmaster’s clothes but also pushed him out of her house while the public watched in shock. Interestingly, after a while the two had made up and continued with their clandestine affair. The ugly incident had embarrassed the sons and when one of them noticed she had visited the headmaster’s house at night, felt it was his time to have the last laugh.
“The principal’s son found an appropriate chance to avenge the humiliation that he and his three brothers had suffered a couple of months ago,” said an eye witness.
As other students watched a movie in the dining hall, the boy mobilised a few of his friends and they hatched a plan to embarrass the woman. They decided to throw stones on the roof of the principal’s house while shouting, ‘Chesing’a must go!”
The shouts attracted many more students who joined in the chant and the embarrassed headmaster aided the tipsy woman out of the school compound through the fence as the deputy principal tried to calm the boys down.
