Hilda Njeri, a Form Three student who survived the deadly blaze, has described the principal as a fair and caring leader who treats all students equally regardless of their family background or social status.
Her remarks come at a time when the Ministry of Education has dissolved the school's Board of Management and initiated disciplinary proceedings against the institution's leadership over alleged failures in safety compliance.
Njeri's story of survival has touched many Kenyans. During the fire, she reportedly escaped by gathering cardboard materials to cushion her fall before jumping from a first-floor window.
