IG Kanja, DIG Lagat, PS Ololoituaa summoned over Gatoto School dispute News 17 min ago

Police had been directed by the High Court to ensure implementation of the court order and require the PS Basic Education to register the school as a private learning institution.

However, State counsel Jacqueline Kiramana told the judge the implementation of the court order has been impossible due to lack of a legal framework outlining the modalities of converting “a public school to a private entity”.

The ownership dispute around Gatoto Primary School at Mukuru Kwa Reuben has taken a new turn with the Principal Secretary for Basic Education, John Ololtuaa, Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and Deputy Inspector General Eliud Lagat summoned to appear before the High Court on Friday (July 24 2026) to explain ownership of the school.
