[Benjamin Sakwa,Standard]Principals of secondary schools are on the spot for charging new parents seeking Form One admissions extra levies. It has emerged that most schools are asking parents to pay between Sh5,000 and Sh35,000 ‘development fees’ before being issued admission letters. Principals argue that the levies have been approved by parents and school boards. After payments, parents are asked to forward bank slips to schools or present the same when their children are admitted. No additional levies shall be charged on parents because they have been outlawed,” said Nicholas Maiyo, the association chairman.
