Parents stage demo, demand removal of Jonathan Gloag Academy CEO

Activities at the prestigious Jonathan Gloag Academy in Lang'ata, Nairobi were paralysed on Tuesday after irate parents stormed the institution over creation of a chief executive officer position.

Parents said they were not consulted over the post held by Mr Collins Oywera.

What seems to have infuriated them most is a decision made by the CEO to send the school head teacher, Mr William Mulema, on early retirement.

It took the intervention of police to escort Mr Oywera out of the institution with a majority of parents who had not seen him physically, struggling to distinguish him from protestors.
