Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha has instructed all basic education institutions to close for one week beginning tomorrow 2nd July 2022 as the country readies for the general election slated for Tuesday next week.

The announcement which was initially set for Friday 5th August 2022 has come as a surprise to both parents, teachers, and learners.

“As you are aware, Kenya is scheduled to conduct its national elections on Tuesday 9 August 2022. Therefore, following consultation, I hereby convey the Government’s decision on the immediate closure of all basic education institutions from Tuesday 2 until Wednesday 10 August to ensure that preparations and conduct of upcoming elections are carried out seamlessly,” Magoha said in a statement.

Meanwhile, he asked principals to allow the students who are home for school fees to follow up on the payments during the short recess.

“If you want to engage the parents then do so when the children are still at home so that if there is school fee to be paid, it should be paid then,” Magoha stated.
