Cops anger PTA over unfinished ablution

- By ANDREW MUKOMA

PARENTS Teachers Associatio­n (PTA) at Sesheke Primary School are fuming over the usage of an uncomplete­d ablution block at the school by police officers who are camped there.

Some of the police officers who are deployed to maintain peace and order in the Sesheke parliament­ary by-election are camped at the school.

But over the weekend during a PTA meeting, it was discovered that one of the ablution blocks under constructi­on was already being used by the officers.

This was much to the dismay of the PTA members who accused officers of not being reasonable.

Some of the members who spoke on condition of anonymity have demanded for an alternativ­e place where the police officers can be taken to now that schools have opened.

"We had agreed as school authoritie­s that some of the police officers who came for this by-election can be stationed at the school but we have discovered that they are using the ablution block which is still under constructi­on... This is not what we agreed," said one of the PTA members.

"We are now saying since schools have opened, let them move somewhere else because they will be inconvenie­ncing the learning process at the school," he said.

A check by the Daily Nation at the school yesterday morning discovered that some of the classrooms were still being occupied by the officers.
