Over 500 students from Kibiricha Boys High School in Meru County stormed out of the school over being denied rice left overs by the institution.
Buuri East Sub County Director of Education Madina Guyo explained that the boys had walked out of the school in protest after 17 of their colleagues had been suspended on Friday after demanding left over rice.
