Parents at State House Day Pre-School Oppose Transfer of Head Teacher Mary Saburi - February 2026

Parents at State House Day Pre-School disrupted an attempt by Nairobi County officials to remove the school’s centre manager, Mary Saburi. The county claims Saburi has been transferred, but parents are staunchly opposing this move and blocked officials from completing the transfer. The head teacher was reportedly moved for allegedly opposing the Dishi na County school feeding program. The parents' board states their decision to oppose the program dates back two years. The county asserts that Saburi's refusal to comply with a disciplinary directive led to the transfer.
