The protests that paralyzed learning at Moi Girls Eldoret the whole morning were allegedly brought up by the Principal’s harassment of both the students and the subordinate staff. In a long list of claims, sources could confirm that the students were infuriated especially with the change of diet. The students were not a happy lot after the principal introduced the daily cabbage and ugali meal. The principal has also abolished entertainment and sports activities within the school. Some of the staff who have also served in the school for a very long time accused the principal of cutting down some very iconic trees within the school. The subordinate staff also accused the principal of aimlessly firing some of the watchmen with no good reason.
