The Ministry of Education has raised the alarm: a teacher from the prestigious Alliance Girls High School, accused of grooming students, remains untraced weeks after the allegations surfaced.
Principal Secretary in the Basic Education docket has declared the teacher missing, urging swift action from law enforcement. Despite strong calls for arrest and statutory interdiction by the Teachers Service Commission, authorities admit they have yet to locate or detain the suspect.
The situation escalated following damning accounts that the teacher, leveraging trust and authority, engaged in prolonged improper conduct with minors. Initially placed on interdiction when the scandal broke, the teacher has since vanished from official reach—sparking fears in Nairobi’s education circles and intense concern among students and parents nationwide.
Government officials have described the disappearance as both irresponsible and potentially criminal. They warn that any attempts to evade accountability will be met with intensified investigative efforts. The Ministry has pledged full cooperation with police to trace the individual, secure their custody, and ensure a transparent judicial process.
In the absence of the teacher, the Education PS has reiterated the need for immediate systemic reforms. He emphasized stepping up protective measures in schools, warning that silence or inaction sets a dangerous precedent and undermines public confidence in the safety of learning institutions.
The Teachers Service Commission, already overseeing a probe, is now expected to fast-track disciplinary measures. Child rights activists and parents are demanding full disclosure of the timeline, steps taken to find the teacher, and assurances that no loopholes remain for offenders seeking to escape consequences.
Public sentiment has turned sharply against the episode, with calls for contingency plans to address potential cover-ups and lapses in school-based accountability. The missing teacher case now stands as a test of the state’s resolve to safeguard students and uphold the integrity of Kenya’s education system.
