The court had ordered the school to readmit the expelled students. Justice Mshila revealed that the school did not explain what loss it would suffer should they re-admit the five students. However, the school’s principal, Mr Richard Omondi, said the students misbehaved and the institution could not tolerate indiscipline.

Mr Omondi is facing contempt charges for ignoring court orders.

The cases of student moving to court in Kenya is not new. Late last month, five students from St. Georges Secondary School who were expelled over lesbian claims took the matter to court seeking readmission. They termed the expulsion as unconstitutional and contravenes the Children Act and Basic Education Act.
