President William Ruto has directed the ministry of education to postpone the school reopening for the second term until further notice.

โ€œThe reopening date for schools which was scheduled for this Monday has had to be varied. Transportation has become challenging due to flooded and damaged roads and bridges.โ€ Ruto said.

Making the announcement on Friday from Statehouse, the president pointed out to weather forecasts which predicted that the situation is bound to get worse.

โ€œThe rains will persist increasing both in duration and intensity for the rest of this month and possibly after. Kenya may face its first ever cyclone which may hit at any time,โ€ he stated.
