“If You Elect DP Ruto You’ll Cry One Day” Uhuru Sends Warning; What is Happening in Bondo as Raila’s Home Gets Renovated & NIS Takes Swift Action Over Hate Leaflets in Rift Valley

Good morning,

Parents and teachers were yesterday thrown into confusion following a Ministry of Education directive that primary and secondary schools take an early break starting today.

Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha directed the immediate closure of schools, saying the new dates of the half-term break supersede any earlier communication on the matter.

Education CS George Magoha.

Schools and parents are advised to ensure that learners at all basic education institutions proceed on their half-term break effective Tuesday, August 2, and resume on August 11.

The directive came when the majority of schools were starting their mid-term exams, since the initial dates indicated that schools would take a break starting August 5 and resume on August 15.

However, the schools had no option other than to follow the Ministry’s directive.

This comes as we are a week to the country’s polls when Kenyans are expected to usher in a new government under a new president by voting for their preferred candidate.

The communique by the CS may have come after possible intelligence reports on how the results of the election may be received by the residents which may in turn affect students who are in schools.
