Student suspended from school and ordered to buy 1000 loaves of bread as punishment for stealing one loaf
A student in Kiambu County, Kenya was suspended from school
and ordered to buy 1000 loaves of bread as punishment for allegedly
stealing a loaf of bread.
The Form 3 student at Muhoho High School in Gatundu South was sent home on Thursday, February February 15 after supposedly stealing the bread from the school dining hall.
In the suspension letter obtained by Citizen Digital, the
student was required to return to school with 1000 loaves, which,
according to the school, is bread enough to feed all the students in the
school.
In addition to buying bread for the whole school, the
deputy principal ordered the student to clear all his pending school
fees balance.
“You are required to return to school the soonest possible at 9am
having cleared all the school levies and come with bread for all the
students in the school i.e. 1000 loaves,” read part of the letter signed
and stamped by the deputy principal.
With bread retailing at an average of Ksh.50, this means
the student’s parent or guardian is set to part with approximately
Ksh.50,000.
