Six teachers have been arrested over troubling video of Kisii pupils' punishment

Cabinet Secretary for Education Ezekiel Machogu now says six teachers behind the viral video showing primary school pupils being forced to do indecent acts will face disciplinary action.  

Addressing the press on Thursday, February 2, Machogu said those found guilty of the offence will be dismissed from service.

The viral video in which the teachers of Itumbe DOK primary school in Kisii are heard urging pupils to imitate a sex scene has led to the arrest of six of them.

The video had been trending on local social media platforms since Monday causing a huge uproar.

Police said they traced the footage to the Itumbe DOK primate in Nyamache, Bobasi constituency.

Detectives stormed the school Wednesday afternoon and conducted the arrests.

The suspects were cited as Everline Moraa, Gladys Kenyanya, Angelica Joseph and Moraa Nyairo.

Others are Catherine Moraa and William Isoka.

The group was arraigned at Ogembo Law Courts Thursday Morning.

The viral video attracted the rage of Kenayns on social media forcing police officers to act on the matter.

Sub-county police boss Kipkemoi Kipkulei confirmed the arrest.
