Abstract
In Kenya, every year there have been complains and cries about how secondary education is
managed at various levels, such as from a selection of form ones, charging of secondary fees,
a financial management and the general management of secondary schools resources for
effective teaching and learning. School assessment reports in different schools every time
they are conducted raise pertinent issues of poor managerial skills, exclusive leadership by
school heads, open defiance of ministry’s policies, guidelines and expectations. This has
resulted in running down of some secondary schools. This paper intends to examine causes of
looting secondary schools, methods of looting and propose remedies to this looting of public
secondary schools. The designs of this study will be survey involving 10% of the 68 public
secondary schools in Kibwezi Sub-County, Makueni County, sampling method to be employed

development. This study expects that the findings will enable the management of secondary
schools to move from looting of schools resources by school heads to transformative
leadership by choice that will result in effective teaching and learning. The study will examine
data. Quality assurance and audit reports, BOM reports/ minutes, observation schedule of
