On September 25, 2019, Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha made a surprise visit to a school in Kibra, Nairobi, where he shut down the institution due to safety and academic concerns.
The move was reportedly made after Magoha's team conducted an inspection and found the school to be in a state of disrepair, posing a risk to the students' well-being.
Magoha's decision has sparked debate among locals and education stakeholders, with some questioning the timing and reasoning behind the shutdown.
