Regarding the Covid-19 situation in schools, the CS banned the hiring of school buses for private events.
Magoha stated that anyone who wants to use school buses for private events must seek authority from the Ministry of Education.
For instance, Magoha intimated that the majority of people who hire the buses use them for funeral and wedding events where they fail to heed the Covid-19 protocols as directed by the Ministry of health hence putting school children at risk.
“…those seeking services of school buses must get authority from the Ministry. For the avoidance of doubt, school buses are to carry children using Covid-19 protocols, action is to be taken against anybody using the buses for any other reason,” he said.
