Legal Battle As St Bakhita Parents Sue School Over Fee Increment
In a related story, a legal dispute has erupted between St Bakhita Schools and a group of parents following an increase in fees.
Justice Christine Meoli has scheduled a hearing for the case on May 27.
The disagreement arises from the school management’s decision to raise fees without reaching an agreement with parents.
Through their lawyer, Charles Mwalimu, at least 1,000 parents have expressed concern that the fee hike may disrupt their children’s education.

They argue that the sudden change in fees midway through the academic year has left them with little bargaining power.
The insufficient three-week notice provided did not afford them the opportunity to adjust their financial plans or consider transferring their children to other schools.
They deem alternative decisions impractical at this time of year. It has been noted that the school management has given parents one month to pay the revised fees.
Mwalimu contends in court that the school management has exploited its stronger position in the contractual relationship.

The parents have filed a lawsuit against several entities under St Bakhita, while the management argues against granting the requested orders, citing that most parents have already paid the new fees.
