Sad, Headteacher Commits Suicide to Protest 'Forceful' Transfer

A primary school head teacher committed suicide in Nyakach, Kisumu County, after he was reportedly transferred against his will.

In his suicide note, George Oruongo, of Nyabondo Boys Boarding Primary School, cited frustration by education officials who he accused of forcing him out of a school he had headed for 11 years.

Grief gripped the school as news that Oruongo had hanged himself, just a day after he was transferred, trickled in.
