On July 24, 2019, Makini Schools announced a restructuring programme that could result in job cuts.

The programme, which aims to align jobs with the institution's current needs, will see some staff roles become redundant.

Managing Director Martin Sharman stated that employees whose skills no longer match the organisation's requirements will have the opportunity to apply for newly advertised roles.

Sharman also announced that some roles will require a transfer to other campuses of Makini Schools in Nairobi or Kisumu County.

According to Sharman, the reorganisation will lead to various outcomes, including the alignment of jobs with the institution's current needs and the implementation of clear reporting and line management structures.

Sharman assured parents and guardians that the implementation will follow due process and that the organisation will manage the challenges fairly and equitably.

The restructuring programme comes after Scholé Limited acquired Makini Schools from its former founder and owner, Mary Okello, for Sh1 billion in 2018.

Makini Schools, which was started 40 years ago, has campuses in Nairobi and Kisumu.
