The wife to a well known high school principal in Bungoma County makes frequent visits to a witch doctor in Musokho village a behavior eye witnesses say it is an attempt to prevent the principal from marrying other wives and stop him from assisting relatives.

“One day she was found carrying a black cock in her handbag,” said one of the villagers. She does not seek medical experts whenever she falls sick, you will always find her with plant extracts, roots of unique plants, ashes/powders extracted from sea animals and other herbal drugs.

This behavior has put the principal’s mother in a very pathetic situation. For instance she stays alone in her house without company of her grand children. Children have been made to believe that their grandmother is a witch and is to be avoided at all cost.

She spends most of her time in the school intruding in matters of the school. She would gossip about people seeking admissions, relatives admitted, and those denied chance in the school. She claims that students related to the principal in the school do not pay fees. The gossip is then taken to the neighboring communities, where those who missed access to the school feel the principal is being unfair and biased in his new admissions.

Last year, when the principal had called contractors to erect a house for his mother, the wife chased them away, stopping the exercise. She does not take instructions from anybody in any real life situation. Efforts by the village elder who was attempting to advise her did not bear fruit as this lady seems only to understand one language, the language of the witch doctor.
