The president has announced that schools will re-open on Monday next week after postponement due to massive flooding.
The President said the decision has been made in consultation with the Meteorological Department, which has confirmed that the rains will subside in coming days.
Schools were set to reopen on April 29, 2024, but the Ministry of Education postponed following massive flooding across the country.
“All parents are now advised, based on the assessment of weather experts and the government, that it is safe for our children to go back to school.”
The President also said the government will release funds to the National Government Constituency Development Fund for rehabilitation of schools that have been damaged by the floods.
He made the remarks at State House Nairobi during a meeting with grassroots leaders from Kajiado Central and Laikipia North constituencies led by MPs Kanchory Memusi (ODM) and Sarah Korere (Jubilee) respectively.
