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.
