On Saturday, during his visit to the school, following the deaths of three students and a teacher, and the hospitalization of over 500 students due to contaminated food and water, Machogu made an announcement about the situation.
Ndolo received criticism for blaming the media for the closure of the school in a circular she addressed to parents, after reports of the first two students’ deaths due to water and food contamination emerged. She claimed that the media created a “toxic environment” that led to the closure.
In addition to ordering the sinking of a new borehole and the treatment of water across the county, the CS also stated that a water purification system worth Ksh6 million will be provided to the school.
Machogu announced that the school will reopen in two weeks, and students will receive guidance and counseling following the tragic incident. During his visit to the school, he ordered the destruction of all contaminated food and the procurement of a new consignment.
