The government has closed down Kikunuani Primary School in Kathiani, Machakos county because it does not have toilets. "The only standing facility developed huge cracks yesterday such that it was a great risk for learners," school committee chairman Peter Mwangangi said. Last term a pupil from a neighbouring Muisuni Primary School died after the toilet she was in sunk in. Meanwhile, General Mulinge Primary School in the same constituency was shut down on Thursday by agitated parents citing poor performance. They called for an overhaul of the teaching staff and the disbandment of the school management.
