The Power Of Journalism: Jomo Kenyatta High School (Nakuru) Deputy Head Teacher Runs For His Life After Seeing Media Cameras

Call it the power of a camera, the power of journalism or the fear or a camera or the fear of journalists.

This phrase was put into perspective when a deputy head teacher in Nakuru showed his prowess in athletics albeit in a muddy and vegetation-covered track when TV cameras abruptly arrived in the school’s compound to gather news about a malpractice by the school’s administration.

The Deputy head teacher must have known that he was in the wrong and couldn’t risk his job and shame by facing the glaring cameras that were in place to capture every detail of the malpractice.

The school had sent away forms 3 and 4 students to buy high density mattresses despite a directive by the government that parents should not incur any extra charges except the fee they pay for their children,

Word reached journalists and as they arrived at the school’s compound, the deputy head showed them heels as he took off at a supersonic speed into the nearby banana plantation.

A cameraman with a well-built body went after him but realized he couldn’t keep up with his speed. He had to give up. However, cameras were able to capture the teacher’s disappearance and the journalists who had arrived to interview him were left in stitches with laughter after realizing how dreadful a camera had become at that moment.
