Savula Accuses Lugari MP of Inappropriate Conduct with Female School Leaders

Savula urged Nabwera to stop such alleged behavior, warning that it undermines the education sector and disrespects the professional dignity of women serving in leadership roles within schools. The remarks have sparked widespread discussion across the county, with many residents expressing concern over the impact on the learning environment and the welfare of educators.

The accusations come amid ongoing political differences between the two leaders, who represent different facets of leadership in the region. Savula reportedly highlighted instances where female school heads felt uncomfortable due to demands from the MP, suggesting that transfers or other administrative decisions might be influenced by personal motives rather than merit. He emphasized the need for leaders to focus on development issues like improving school infrastructure and supporting teachers, instead of engaging in actions that could harm the reputation of public institutions. Education stakeholders in Lugari have called for thorough investigations to establish the facts and protect vulnerable professionals from any form of exploitation.

Political observers note that such public confrontations are not uncommon in Kenyan county politics, where rivalries often surface during speeches or community gatherings. However, the gravity of these particular claims has drawn attention to the broader issue of ethics in leadership and the protection of women in the workplace. Female teachers’ unions and gender rights advocates have welcomed the spotlight on the matter, stressing that no one, regardless of position, should use power to harass or intimidate others. They have appealed to relevant authorities, including the Teachers Service Commission, to ensure a safe working atmosphere for all educators.

Nabwera has previously responded to related criticisms from Savula by pursuing legal action, including a defamation case filed earlier this year. While the MP has not issued a fresh detailed rebuttal to the latest statements, the exchange highlights deep-seated divisions within Kakamega’s political landscape. As the story continues to unfold, residents hope for clarity and accountability so that attention can return to pressing matters such as better funding for schools and enhanced service delivery in the constituency. Leaders on both sides are being reminded that public trust depends on integrity and commitment to the people’s welfare above personal interests.
