Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha before the National Assembly’s Education committee on September 30, 2020 where he outlined measures for safe reopening of schools.
The CS’s order to reopen came hardly a week after President Uhuru Kenyatta, in an address to the nation, declared that learning places would remain closed until the safety of learners was ascertained.
Mr Wetang’ula said the ministry should explain how the students in other classes transition to next classes should the candidates sit their exams in April.
The Senate has censured Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha’s stewardship of the ministry, as they questioned the ‘arbitrary’ manner in which he ordered the resumption of learning.
The lawmakers, in particular, assailed the CS saying the order to reopen schools was an ambush and criticised the ministry for failure to appraise the public on the state of preparedness.
