Picha iliyoundwa na AI

Mwenyekiti wa KUPPET Omboko Milemba ameitaka serikali kuondoa shule za bweni nchini Kenya kufuatia mkasa wa moto ulioua wanafunzi 16 katika Utumishi Girls Academy.

Milemba alitoa wito huu wakati wa mkutano Ijumaa Mei 29, 2026. Alisema wazazi wanaweza kuwafuatilia watoto nyumbani na kuepuka mabweni yaliyojaa watu.

Waziri wa Elimu Julius Ogamba aliamuru kuvunjwa kwa bodi ya usimamizi ya shule na kuchukua hatua za kinidhamu dhidi ya mkuu na walimu wawili. Uchunguzi ulibaini makosa ya usalama kama mlango uliofungwa na msongamano wa bweni.

Idara ya Upelelezi wa Jinai inashikilia wanafunzi wanane kama watu wa kushukiwa huku uchunguzi ukiendelea. Moto ulithibitishwa kuwa wa makusudi kulingana na ripoti za awali.
