Boy fought NCCK worker and went to school to find himself screened out

A school boy fought NCCK worker authorised by UNHCR, DRA and NCCK to demolish fences to allow enough passage for vehicles, Boda bodas and people in Kakuma. Mohammed, from Somali on Friday quarrelled and barked at the workers. Seemingly, no one answered him appropriately. "Talk to that person was their word. When I approached that person she referred me to another person," he said. "They ignored."


He accused these workers to formerly had destroyed their fence and came back to demolish their house partly. He clashed with one of the workers thus a weighty blow on his lip leaving it hurt.


Concerned persons separated them. In the morning he was in the school to hear he was screened out of standard eight and has to repeat class seven. The case is not completely solved by police. "My mother said the case would be taken to police," he said. "The case will be solved today and am here in problem again." The school administration stated the boy is weak. In the first mock he is said to have taken his guardian to complain for his marks he was denied like he thought. In the second mock he was closer to the cutting line of those who would be in Standard eight. The last, makes him good enough to return to standard seven having 228 out of 500 far from the average mark by 22 and 12 from the cutting mark. This is after he struggled to cheat and failed. "He wanted to go to the latrine with his paper of social studies. I stopped him, likewise to the headteacher," said their Mathematics teacher.


Sweating outside while I interviewed him, he had to decide either to go elsewhere and find school or repeat class seven to better perform and be in class eight next year. "I've a lot of problems. from this to another," he said nearly crying.
Names of the candidates who will sit for KCPE this year are with LWF education department already. "Today I'll go to the police and apologise so that there will be no more fighting. Fighting is bad," he said.


Confusedly he asked me if he could get someone to put his name in the list to bribe. I ignored and asked him to tell me more about the problem. He has gone home today to decide as the head teacher told him to repeat or go elsewhere.


I was in Somali market today.  Many shops were destroyed and owners were busy repairing. Dhair and Dario whom I met working for a certain Somali woman said NCCK workers instructed the shopkeepers to reconstruct their shops so as to ensure the space is left. They sent the message and went elsewhere and continued their work.


Part of group Ten (10) D was destroyed especially the fence and houses of the unlucky which were along the previous road.
Inhabitants of this group were spending night patrolling fearing looters till they fenced. The road which passes near Bortown secondary now vacant was widened towards Zone six water booster. The exercise continues where it has not reached.
