President Uhuru Kenyatta, CS Amina Mohammed, Interior counterpart Fred Matiang’i and a section of Kenyans were recently angered by a clip of Ambira High School insulting the government officials after clearing their KSCE exam.
The students were later arrested and thrown in jail for their actions, and as a warning from the government to future candidates.
Nothing new
Apparently, this kind of behavior is not new and has been happening a lot, only that it has never been caught on tape.
Different entertainers spoke to SDE and opened up on some of the crazy things they did after KCSE and it’s just unbelievable.
Here’s what they said:
Dr Ofweneke, comedian
“Burning of books was a planned ritual, I remember we burnt books and after we were done we got the school’s pig in the agriculture section and we also roasted and ate it.”
We only torched exercise books – Prof Hamo, comedian
“Academic fire was not a big deal. We burnt books but ours wasn’t that elaborated because it was only exercise books plus it was a day school so I burned mine with close pals. After dealing with eight subjects, it was time to be done with high school.”
We planned to beat hated teacher – Mc Antonio
“My classmates planned to beat the most hated teacher but the head teacher got wind of it and called the police the night before we went home. We were beaten and instructed to come with our parents when clearing.”
We had dinner with principal – Jemutai, comedian
“We wanted to have the academic bonfire but our principal refused and told us to reserve the books for the next generation of students so we had dinner with him the evening before we left for home.”
We climbed Mt Kenya – Cynthia Njuguna, businesswoman
“Just before we sat our final exams at Mt Kenya Senior School, we went for a trip to climb Mt Kenya and create lasting memories.
We played against teachers – Irene Wanja, marketing manager
“At Greensteads International School, we had dinner just before I did my O and A levels exams. We also had a sports day where teachers played against the students. We signed our friend’s T-shirts and while some students burned their book and uniforms in secret.”
