An attempt to transfer ownership of Gatoto Community Primary School in Mukuru kwa Reuben back to private hands failed on July 2, 2026, when a hostile crowd chased away officials and lawyers, including Martha Karua and LSK president Charles Kanjama.

• A High Court ruling on June 25, 2026, by Justice Gregory Mutai ordered the handover of the school to five private individuals.
• The crowd chanted, "The school belongs to the public, and we have the title deed," blocking the gate.
• Makadara OCPD Judy Nyongesa stated the school is now a public school under the Ministry of Education and they aimed to avoid commotion with learners present.
• Parents have filed a notice of appeal, arguing that slum residents cannot afford private school fees.
