However,the action has elicited different emotions from netizens, some who claim that the boys were within their rights to expression while others were angry for their misdemeanour.
Benard Koech advised that “While it is a good move, we should also revisit the role of adults in influencing such behaviors.”
He was of the opinion that the current generation of youth have bad role models right from inside the parliament where MPs usually fight and hurl insults at each other.
However, Otema Ramogo replied, “Judiciary now complicit [sic] in watering down the constitution, with this continued pattern of pre-trial detention, very sad state of affairs!!”
The infamous high school boys came to the limelight when they recorded a video hurling insults at the CSs while also admitting to cheating during the KCSE exams.
While monitoring the ongoing KCSE examinations, KNEC chairman George Magoha said the moral decay in some of the students is regrettable.
He told journalists at Rangala Girls’ School that if it is discovered that the Ambira students cheated as they claimed in the video, then action will be taken.
“We have already prescribed what we do to people who cheat and that is what we are going to do,” Magoha said.
He said they will not profile any school but cheats will not go unpunished,he also condemned parents for failing to raise their children with good morals under the guise of being busy.
