Learners are today trooping back to schools for the second week after braving a week-long trial of new norms. “Before government can tell all learners to go back to school, let them provide the school fees with the BBI monies. When chiefs go looking for learners stuck at home, let them go with maskd and sanitizers,” former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama said. In Meru, County Commissioner Allan Macharia has announced that fifteen percent of school children are yet to report back. The commissioner said the door-to-door exercise to search for the missing students will continue today.
