St. Gracious Secondary School is taking strong legal action against the New Vision newspaper for publishing a false and harmful report. The school vehemently denies the newspaper’s claim that its registration certificate had expired, stating this report is completely untrue and has severely damaged its excellent reputation.
Principal Martin Ojok Anyuru confirmed that St. Gracious Secondary School, including both its Main and Leo Atubo campuses, is fully and legally registered with the Ministry of Education and Sports. He personally displayed the valid registration certificate, which was renewed in August 2025, to prove the school’s legal compliance.
The school is urging all parents, students, and the public to completely disregard the misleading article. It emphasizes that such false information causes unnecessary worry and undermines trust in a well-established institution.
Through its lawyers, St. Gracious has formally demanded that New Vision takes immediate action. The school expects a prominent correction and a full retraction of the false story published on its front page. Furthermore, St. Gracious is demanding Shs1 billion in damages to compensate for the public ridicule, harm to its reputation, emotional distress, and potential financial losses caused by the publication. The school also requires the newspaper to cover its legal expenses.
New Vision has been given a strict three-day deadline to meet these demands. If the newspaper fails to comply, St. Gracious Secondary School is prepared to proceed with a full civil lawsuit to protect its good name and ensure justice. The school reassures everyone that it remains dedicated to providing quality education without any legal or operational issues.
