Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha has ordered all schools to be closed on Tuesday, August 2, to allow the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to conduct the August 9 General Election.
In a statement issued on Monday, August 1, Magoha noted that all students from all basic education institutions would proceed on their half-term break effective Tuesday, August 2, and resume on Thursday, August 11.
He affirmed that the communication superseded the prior communication where the Ministry had set Saturday, August 6, as the stipulated date for closure.
