Education CS Magoha bans unauthorised meetings in schools

Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha has imposed a ban on unauthorised meetings being held in schools

Prof Magoha, in a statement sent to newsrooms on Saturday, said the decision was arrived at as  such gatherings could expose learners to coronavirus.

“It has come to the attention of the Ministry of Education that various groups of people are targeting schools as venues for holding unauthorised meetings,” said the CS.

“By holding the meetings at the school facilities, the groups are exposing learners to the dangers of COVID-19 as many of the attendees do not comply with the Ministry of Health guidelines on COVID-19.”

Prof Magoha stated that henceforth school premises will be out of bounds for any individuals or groups seeking to hold such gatherings.

He warned that any person who will be found to be flouting the ban will face the consequences.

" The Ministry is therefore notifying all Kenyans that school compounds and facilities are out of bounds and cannon be used to hold unauthorised meetings." He added
