Hello my name is [withheld] and I was a student at Brookhurst international school.
I was present when all of the events that are mentioned in your article took place.
Firstly I would like to support these claims and add that besides the staff, the principle “MR MATHENGE” also mistreated the students. He would make up lies and stories about specific students that he didn’t want in the institution and expell or suspend them based on his lies.
He would also force teachers and other student to back his claims even though they know the truth. He’d do this by threatening them with termination. He did this to me personally and was the reason I didn’t get to properly graduate with the rest of my senior class. He also did this without warning to me or any other student he would expell.
One day your in class studying for your finals, next thing you know your parent is present to pick you up because your expelled. This man has tormented and ruined so many young minds. He’s caused depression and anxiety to so many younger students with his frequent threats of expulsion and non-refundable school fees.
On many occasions the “school cabinet” and myself attempted to call him out on all of this but he just threatened to demote all of them and get new people.
This man is a tyrant who should not be around children, because I strongly believe you first have to know how to deal with them before you can guide them. And just like the last tipper claimed about the equipment request that we would make to the admin, we would never recieve. Mr. Mathenge would make very open and false promises that the sports teacher would have to personally cater to.
Where does the money go?
Anytime we would have to go to different schools to represent Brookhurst, be it in sports or academics, students would recieve only two slices of bread and a cup or watery “juice”. To be quite honest this is the lowest standard of treatment I have ever experienced and I grew up in Bidii Primary School, a public school that had better treatment than Brookhurst ever will.
Every department of the staff would be replaced every week, then they’d hire unqualified teachers who barely know what they’re teaching, because they got the job under false pretenses.
In the 2 years that I attended that school I watched as the entire teaching staff was replaced twice. And most of them only got terminated for asking the admin to do THEIR JOBS.
Dr. Ruth if you are reading this, please replace your administration immediately or prepare for failure. Mr Mathenge is the most incompetent human to be running an INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL WHERE PARENTS PAY OVER Ksh.200,000 KENYAN SHILLINGS PER TERM. Get your shit together Dr. and get rid of this Teletubby from your admin.
Frankly I don’t care if my name is associated with this because this has been a long time coming and should’ve been done long ago. I’m glad someone arose sooner rather than later.
