A parent has dragged Kibuli Secondary School to Court after suspending her daughter for allegedly stealing sugar.

Barbara Lubwama Nakku through her lawyers; Mugisha, Namutale and Company Advocates, contends that her daughter was indefinitely suspended from the school during the second term of her Senior Two studies but the suspension was never disclosed to the parent until after she had cleared third term school fees.

Nakku claims she was called on September 19, 2019, and advised to pick her daughter on September 23, on baseless accusations that she stole sugar in the middle of the second term.

According to Nakku, the Matron, Christine Nalwadda reportedly beat-up the student before coercing her to write a letter to the School’s Disciplinary Committee confessing to the theft.

She argues that the indefinite suspension was not only dominant and illegal but done in total disregard of the principles of natural justice and provisions of the Constitution of Uganda”, states the suit filed before the Civil Division of the High Court.

The parent now wants the High Court to quash the suspension of her daughter and make a declaration that the dismissal was illegal.

The Board of Directors Kibuli Secondary School have been summoned to file their defence before the matter is allocated to the Judge who will fix it for hearing.
