A student of Luora Secondary School in Homa Bay, Kenya has recently committed suicide after he was asked to repeat a class over poor performance.
The deceased identified as Clifford Odhiambi had wanted to join the armed force next year after his KCSE examinations but couldn't because of his bad performance.
The angry student was said to have left the school in anger and went home to take pesticides which landed him in the hospital. He died while undergoing treatment.
According to his father, Jabos Ocholla, Odhiambo left a suicide note revealing that he would rather take his life than repeat classes.
The Director of Homa Bay County Teacher Service Commission (TCS. Diosiana Ahindukha, in a statement, noted that repeating of classes had been banned by the government and said that the two teachers and the principal will be invited for questioning.
