Maranda High School students subjected to further drug tests despite presenting drug test certificates

Students reporting to Maranda High School with drug test certificates are reportedly being subjected to further drug tests to prove the authenticity of their certificates.

According to the school’s principal, Edwin Namachanja, the administration will only allow the reporting students in class once the government chemists, who we hired to re-do tests on them, confirm that the details on the drug test certificates they are presenting are factual.

Namachanja, while Speaking to K24 Digital, asserted that parents must ensure that their children are tested. He added that without proof of certificate, the students will not access the school compound.

K24 Digital established that some students were forced to book guest rooms yesterday after being sent back for failing to produce the drug test certificates.

“We had staggered the reporting of the students to allow the government chemists to conduct the exercise without any hitches,” said Namachanja.

He asked parents to ensure their children undergo tests from home to avoid being blocked from accessing the institution.

“We expect the parents to take their children for a drug test and give consent for further random testing in the school,” Namachanja said.

The principal said that they have adopted the strategy to know those under influence of drugs and put them on rehabilitation so as to tame the upsurge in school fires as was evident in the past year.

Drug test kitu gani. Sasa how will we know the government chemist is not biased

Is this legal?

May not be legal but it is the school’s way or highway…Any legal battle will keep the subject student away from school for more days

The school reserve’s the right of admission and it’s policies takes precedence. So yes … technically it is.

Good. A step in the right direction

Students should not use weed.

Hehe na vile bhangi hubaki kwa system for weeks or even months after you last used it… some people are going to get caught in 4k ultra HD.

Mashada kwani kijana wako ako kwa hio shule? Unaogopa even though he is innocent bangi ulikua unavuta na mamake ilipenya umbilical cord ? Don’t worry ghaseeer chemicals can’t pass the u.c

Foolish timid parents. Those bold kids are being let down by their parents. One parent one panga, injury to rogue school administrators is injury to satan

These people are always against Weed, what did a plant do for you. A plant you came and found on this planet. Why should you be against the plant? I beg all plant activists to come.

I know it’s been a while, but this situation with the Maranda High School students is wild. It’s like they’re already proving they’re clean with those certificates. It feels a bit over the top to keep testing them again. I get that schools want to keep things safe, but sometimes, it seems like they go a bit too far.

Plus, it can be super stressful for the students. They’re already juggling classes and everything else, and then to throw in more tests? Ugh! If anyone is struggling with the whole drug test thing, I’ve heard some folks talk about using synthetic urine. You can find some options nearby at places like https://ccwrc.org/smoke-shops-that-sell-synthetic-urine-near-me/.

Would like to see the kinds of people these moral-cops voted for.

io ni kudhalilishwa. Kuwa humiliated. Huwezi nifanyisha drug test kama hakuna regulation kwa sheria za nchi inasema kila mkenya afanye drug test.

ata zile embassy zimezoea kudhalilisha wakenya wakienda kwa nchi zao, hawafanyishi watu drug test.
