Parents who have failed to send their children back to school face arrest as the government launches a door-to-door search for students still at home. Already, Chiefs, village elders and members of Nyumba Kumi have launched a door-to-door hunt for students who are yet to report back to school. We have launched a massive door-to-door search to have those children sent back to schools. "Parents who will not send their children to school or men who impregnated or married school girls will be arrested and prosecuted," Macharia told Nation. Kanyakine chief in Meru County Isabella Mutura warned that parents who married off girls and men who have married school children would be arrested.
