Six Kisii County teachers have been arrested in connection with a disturbing video circulating on social media in which schoolchildren are exposed to an indecent act.
Nyamache OCPD Kipkulei Kipkemboi confirmed the arrest of the five female teachers and one male, saying the incident occurred at Itumbe DOK Primary School in Nyamache.
According to police, the six were arrested after Ministry of Education officials in the county, led by Nyamache Sub-County Director Linet Onduso, visited the school following receipt of the video.
The young boys in school uniform are compelled by their teachers to commit an indecent act while lying on top of each other in the video, which has sparked widespread outrage.
The six teachers are being questioned at Nyamache Police Station pending arraignment, according to the OCPD.
Reasons for TSC Interdiction
The following are reasons that can easily instigate the interdiction of a teacher by the commission;
Cases of immoral behaviour.
Neglect of duty.
Absenteeism.
Desertion of duty.
Insubordination.
Mismanagement of public funds.
Conviction of criminal offence.
If a teacher is guilty, will be deregistered and this means he or she will not participate in activities involving teaching profession in Kenya.
Remember that in a case where the teacher is innocent, interdition is revoked. He or she may be warned in writing, surcharged or suspended for a period not exceeding six months.
