The capacity of inter-county trains will be doubled - two from Nairobi and two from Mombasa - as schools reopen on Monday, Transport CS James Macharia has said. Meanwhile, social distancing challenges should not be an excuse to resist reopening of schools, Education CS George Magoha has said. "The government has done everything possible to ensure schools are ready for reopening," he said. Magoha said every open space will be used by learners to ensure social distancing. The CS warned parents against failing to pay fees on the pretext that the government has warned administrators against sending children back home.
