School Reopening Drama: MP Urges Extension Due to Rainy Weather

MP Alice Ng'ang'a and Police IG Koome caution motorists ahead of school reopening

School re-opening has become a topic of discussion as Thika Town MP Alice Ng'ang'a advocates for the extension of the opening date due to the ongoing rainy weather. She urges the Ministry of Education to consider delaying the start of the new term to ensure students' safety. Meanwhile, Police Inspector General Japhet Koome has issued a traffic advisory to ensure the safety of school-going students during their commute.

As the reopening date approaches, Police IG Koome emphasizes caution for motorists, deploying officers on major highways to manage traffic and maintain order. Multi-agency teams, including officers from the National Police Service and NTSA, have been stationed along major highways nationwide to handle the increased traffic flow as schools resume.

Concerns about student safety linger as MP Alice Ng'ang'a appeals for an additional week of school closure to mitigate risks posed by the adverse weather conditions. This plea aligns with the efforts of law enforcement agencies to safeguard students' journey to and from school amidst the challenging weather conditions.

In the midst of the school reopening preparations, the collaborative efforts between the MP and the Police IG highlight the importance of prioritizing student safety. With ongoing discussions on further measures to ensure a smooth transition back to school, the focus remains on creating a secure environment for students as they resume their academic activities.
