A headteacher of a private school in Seregeya,Turbo has been arrested
for allegedly defiling an underage girl, a former pupil at the school.
Mr. Philip Wesonga, a 33 year old teacher at Canaan Royal School
was arrested following the Sunday incident where it has been alleged
that she had sex with the girl, who just completed class eight in the
same school a month ago.
Confirming the incident, area Chief Mr. Charles Banda and his
assistant Diana Owano have condemned the action and have since pressured
the Police to act fast.
"This is not something that we expect from a teacher. He is
supposed to serve as a role model to the young kids", said Diana.
Wesonga is now in the custody of Turbo Police officers and will be arraigned in court immediately after investigations.
Turbo OCS has said that justice will be done, and there is no need to worry..
Drama unfolded when the teacher called the girl to school to
pick her box that she left behind after the exams. However, according to
Diana, the girl went with two friends. The teacher then followed the
three girls into the dormitory and ordered the two to leave and wait
from the staffroom.
The girl's parents have been saddened by the incident and all they want is justice to prevail.
The PTA chairlady Ms Anne Manyololi has also condemned the act
and says that this is not the first time she is hearing the allegations.
"These cases have been there in the air. I have tried to talk to
the School Director, Mr. Aggrey but he has always dismissed the
stories", said Anne.
She has gone ahead to reveal that several ills have been in the school including stealing of exams.
"He has been stealing district exams to our children, making us ashamed when KCPE results come out." she added.
This has come barely six months after a 37 year old teacher, Mr.
John Ndombi (senior teacher at the same school) was alleged to be
having a love affair with a 12-year old class six pupil. However, the
teacher left the school under unclear circumstances.
