Mnyazi said that she would visit Madunguni Secondary to assess the damage extend and see where the students are currently housed and come up with a permanent solution.
Malindi Deputy County Commissioner David Lusava said that the national government intends to relocate the school so as to resolve the problem of perennial disasters.
