WWW.UPESINEWS.CO.KE has established that  the demolition  was as a result of   the ongoing investigations that have revealed that the structures  mainly shops surrounding the school could  have been  a hideout for  criminals seeking to gain access to the school.

At least five male teachers and a number of male non-teaching staff at the school have been directed to undergo DNA testing to assist in the ongoing probe.

The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has since demanded that boarding schools have mandatory security features which include the installation of CCTV cameras in a bid to stamp out sexual molestation of students.
