Board had agreed to give land, says Mugo Well, the new Board has reviewed the decision... which is NO... Lenana Students on the Board have made the difference Story by NATION Reporter (Publication Date: 12/6/2006)

Lenana High School board had consented to give 40 acres for the construction of an education centre, Dagoretti MP Beth Mugo said yesterday. That is 20% of the total land! Leave the school alone! Alternatively, rent the land from Lenana School but do not "grab" it! However, the new board officials turned down the request, Mrs Mugo said. Good for them... The request for land was first made on April 29, last year, when President Kibaki led a tree planting exercise at neighbouring Ngong Forest. So what? Why doesn't the kenyatta family (mugo is a member) return the STOLEN land they have acquired! The assistant minister for Education was responding to reports that the school's management had declined to set aside part of the land for the centre. Letter to chairman In a letter to the board's chairman, Mr Edward Kigen, Mrs Mugo said it was imperative the decision was reversed. Nothing is imperative. The board should hold firm! In fact the Old Boys association, among others, should gear up for a lawsuit before the land is "forcibly" excised! The assistant minister said she was surprised the board decided to deal with the Press "while no dispute exists". Bullshit... there is a dispute. The Press was a choice the Lenana Board had to make since theie pleas would have gone unheeded. She added that although Lenana was a national institution, few students from the area were admitted there. Is she an IDIOT? Precisely, because it is a National Instition that it admits from all over the country & can't favour the "locals". Does Alliance favour those from Kikuyu? It was not "courteous to go against a noble project such as the education centre because there is a lot of land available," the MP said. Why doesn't the government repossess GRABBED land? This land belongs to Lenana prior to independence when the Duke of York school was established. The school has about 200 acres. Mr Kigen had said all the land was being utilised and the board planned to build rental houses to generate income. The land is not for sale! Period.
