Anyone who sets a building on fire is a criminal and should be treated as such. They should be jailed so that it sets an example of how a disciplined student should behave

I believe this case have been handle with the least professionalism like many other cases in recent Kenya. I think if the government wants to protect the kids by abdicating both parent and teachers from disciplining then the govt should build Juvenile jails for unruly rowdy teenagers. Remember not everything western is good for Africa or is close to applicable, we need to stick to the guns and give the whoop back to the society.

Think of it objectively... freedom of speach. The tension of putting all those boys (who somehow have realized they have rights) from all over in the confines of sub standard living conditions.. consider this the growing pains of democracy...
