A catholic priest in Meru has sought the intervention of Njuri Ncheke elders after a dispute with adult education learners in one of the schools run by the church.

Some students have accused Fr Mbaabu Nchebere of Tuuru Parish of failing to register them for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) 2016 exam even after they paid for it.

Mr James Iniesta from Kathelwa in Igembe Central said Fr Nchebere announced in 2015 that Divine Providence Academy would be admitting adult learners in January and help them register for KCPE.

«I was among seven students who joined the adult class with the hope of doing KCPE. We were paying Sh500 per month for tuition,» Mr Iniesta said.

He, however, said trouble started when the priest, who was also teaching Swahili, informed them that he had not succeeded to register them for the exam.

PAID FOR EXAM REGISTRATION

«In March, six students paid Sh2,000 for KCPE registration as requested. In May, he informed us that we had not be registered. The classes ended when we learnt that we could not sit KCPE (exam),» he said.

The former student claimed that the school administration removed all posters advertising the adult learning centre after he started complaining.

«When we raised concerns in local media, the school’s secretary sent me Sh2,800.

«Other students were also sent some money. We don’t understand what criteria was used in refunding the money,» Mr Iniesta said.

In a letter seen by the Nation, Mr Iniesta was required to appear before a Njuri Ncheke court on June 6, 2016.

SUMMONED BY ELDERS

«I received summons from Njuri Ncheke elders requiring that I appear before them following allegation made against me by an unnamed person. The summons were served by a Catholic faithful,» he said.

Speaking to the Nation by phone, Fr Nchebere said the two, who were his students, have been summoned by elders for spreading malicious claims against him.

«I tried to register them but they presented their documents too late. Some brought their documents on the eve of the deadline on April 11. I paid back every coin to the students.

«The elders decided to take up the matter after the students claimed that I had bribed them to keep quiet,» Fr Nchebere said.

He said the students have also accused him of conning them and ‘silencing a local media house’.

«They should go to the elders and confirm the allegations they have made against me. I will pay back what I owe them if the elders rule so,» he said.
