SUSPICION OF GRAT IN THE KERICHO MUSLIM SECONDARY SCHOOL.

SUSPICION OF GRAT IN THE KERICHO MUSLIM SECONDARY SCHOOL.

The Muslim Secondary School in Kericho, Kenya, is already being reported with the same news that has faced many other government or public institutions in the country. To make things worse is the fact that it is a religious institution, where you wouldn’t expect reports of graft and the general embezzlement of the public funds.

A member of the staff in the administration of the mosque that is situated at the Kenya co-operative creameries Depot in Kericho town whispered to us that there has not been a clear circumstances on how the school funds are spend .The member said that the school is sponsored by the Islamic world bank but there have been no clear reports on how the aid funds from the bank are spend ,all that he hears about are reports of the expenditure  of the funds but the school assets are moving or growing in any way, they are just where they were on the grand opening day of the school.

This was whispered to us by the mosques Madrasa teacher who has since then been transferred to Kendu Bay  to help with the training of young children in to Islam hood in Kendu bay.

The Madrasa teacher told the education newspaper to ask the entire Muslim community in the country to take action about this suspicion and have the schools ledgers and other documents of accounts scrutinized for any false dealings. The teacher also wanted the Muslim community to have schools administration monitored closely for any unbecoming behaviors and graft. He complaint bitterly on slowly growth speed of the school despite the Funding from the bank and the expected expertise from the schools administration staff.

He also told us to ask the Muslim community in Kericho town to give the unused parts of land that belongs to the religion to the Faithfull’s of the religion in the town so that they can use it for development purposes instead of the land lying there idly like that.
