Former Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary General Wilson Sossion has called on the Ministry of Health to carry out new inspections into living standards and hygiene in public schools.
“All schools should be inspected afresh and where there is a challenge in sanitation that ought to be addressed because this problem is not in one school, it is quite a number of schools in Western,” Sossion said while speaking in a media interview today.
“The truth is, it is not only Mukuru Girls, but it is also all schools, if there is a school in Kenya with a population of 2,000 students, then we are sitting on time bomb,” he added.
This comes a few days after the tests from Mukuru Girls School which still remains closed was determined that the food that the students consumed was contaminated with human waste and a mixture of E.coli and Salmonella typhi which usually occurs if water sources are contaminated.
The school is scheduled for reopening early next month.
