President William Ruto has made a commendable decision to postpone the reopening of schools until further notice. The postponement of reopening provides a critical window of opportunity to address pressing concerns. This decision acknowledges the plight of flood victims currently sheltered in schools. The postponement also allows crucial time for repairing damaged school infrastructure and roads, which have been adversely affected by the inclement weather. We ask the Ministry of Education to direct schools to safely send back home students who had already reported to school.
