Drama as KENYATTA GOLF Course Academy pupils block Mbagathi road with desks after school was demolished

KENYA: There was drama on Mbagathi Road Monday, 15, when pupils from Kenyatta Golf Course Academy blocked the highway with desks and chairs to protest demolition of their school.

The Colf Course Academy pupils placed their desks across the road and sat on them, blocking traffic in the morning rush hour before they voluntarily moved away to give way to motorists.

Led by their teachers, they continually chanted, “We want our school, we want our school, we need to study in school!”

The school was demolished over the weekend following a land dispute.

“I like my class and I like studying. They have now removed our class and there is no way we can study. All students want is to study,” one of the pupils stated.

They demonstrated outside the school with their parents who expressed frustration as they had already paid fees.
