Precious Blood Riruta threatens my child!!!
Yesterday I returned my Form 4 daughter to Precious Blood Secondary School, Riruta. I have no school fees balance. I paid the Term 3 fees of KSh 15,744 via M-Pesa (Ref UHPL849W91) on 25 August 2026. Yet the school is demanding an extra KSh 30,000 for “Academic Support Classes / remedials.”
When I asked the Principal clear questions, she refused to answer. Instead she called my daughter and threatened her in front of me. The child broke down crying. She was told she will not be allowed into morning preps or evening “kesha” if the money is not paid.
I am a single mother of three school-going children. Cash is extremely tight. I speak for many parents in the same position.
Here are the questions that still have no answers:
What exactly is the KSh 30,000 “remedial / academic support” fee for? What lessons, which teachers, what materials, what measurable outcomes? Parents are entitled to a clear breakdown before any extra levy is imposed.
Earlier this year parents paid an extra KSh 10,000. What was that money used for? Was it also for “extra” support? Why is another large bill appearing now?
A class of ~50 students × KSh 30,000 = KSh 1.5 million per stream. With five streams that is approximately KSh 7.5 million. Who receives this money? How much reaches the teachers who are supposed to deliver the extra tuition? Where is the audited statement?
Why must the money go through a private Paybill and then to the class representative instead of the official school fees account and the bursar? Who owns and controls that Paybill? Legitimate school funds should be receipted through the school’s official accounts.
Capitation and normal school fees already exist. If the government support is insufficient, why is the shortfall being recovered through opaque extra levies that parents are not allowed to question?
Parents who raise legitimate questions risk their children being locked out of revision time. That is not education; that is coercion. What happens to the child whose parent is genuinely unable to pay or is on a bursary?
Boarding school is supposed to give students access to classrooms for supervised study after formal lessons. Denying a Form 4 student morning preps and evening revision because a parent questioned an unexplained fee is punitive and unsafe.
I left my daughter there yesterday under threat. Her mental safety now worries me more than any exam. I am prepared to withdraw her for her own protection if this is the atmosphere she must endure.
Relevant authorities, child-protection bodies, education officials, and advocates: this needs scrutiny. Opaque levies, threats against children, and silencing of parents have no place in a public secondary school.
Parents should never have to choose between their child’s safety and an unexplained bill. Transparency is not optional. Accountability is not optional.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Why are you guys asking stupid questions? Ati what was he doing there. He’s a journalist and he was also the one who was helping out comrades on June 25th outside parliament when they were shot because he was documenting. Release Ademba!!!!

When Central Kenya decides to vote against you, even the terminally ill will postpone their death just to cast their vote and die the next day.

Isn't this an election malpractice?

Suicidal thoughts don’t always sound like “I want to die.”
Sometimes they sound like:
• “I don’t want to wake up.”
• “I can’t do this much longer.”
• “I don’t feel built for life.”
• “I’m tired of being in pain.”
• “I just want everything to stop.”

These aren’t attention seeking thoughts.
They’re distress signals and you deserve support.

nobody talks about how weird it is being kinda suicidal. it’s not like you plan on doing it but everything just feels heavy and exhausting and you wouldn’t mind if something happened but on the other hand you can’t go because you have pets and loved ones.

If america sets ebola facility in kenya we have to burn it down

[Wangareyyyy @Wangariiii_]

There is no sane person that will look at this government and say, yea, we need a second term. No sane person!

[Saeko Tekin @saekotekin]

America will be first country to lock out Kenyans from going to America should we record even one single of ebola case. Yet you are here welcoming their sick patients. We are led by fools.

probably needed a hug, but instead I stayed silent, wiped my own tears , got up & trusted that God’s plan was bigger than my pain ..🤞🏽

People assume depression means you’re sad and crying all the time. Real depression feels like being stuck in a fog. You can’t think, you don’t respond to things, nothing is interesting, and you just feel empty. Not sad, just blank.

When someone says “People who die by suicide don’t think about those they leave behind.”
They think about it every single day.
The guilt. The shame. The fear of being a burden.
That’s part of the torture.

Sometimes we need hard days to know who is family, who is a friend, who is a partner, and who is a passenger in our lives.
