A University Student Electrocuted!

A Kibabii University student who side hustles as a bodaboda operator was electrocuted, Wednesday afternoon next to a well at Zerozero area in Kanduyi along Malaba Kanduyi Highway, Bungoma County where he had stopped to wash his motorcycle.

A wire had been cut off from a nearby electricity pole by a passing lorry on Monday and was left hanging near the well.

He was obviously oblivious of the looming danger when he bent down to scoop some water from the well and accidentally touched the wire meeting his immediate death.

The incident comes just three weeks after a primary school girl in Bumula Constituency lost his life in a similar circumstance.

Residents of the area claim they tried to reach out to Kenya Power Company but their efforts proved futile.

Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang in a circular to regional and county directors of Education dated January 17, has said the exercise will be extended to ensure that all the 2019 KCPE candidates transit to secondary school.

The exercise that was initially to end on Friday January 17, 2020 will now be expected to come to a completion on Friday January 24, 2020. “In order to ensure that no learner is left behind, the Ministry has made a decision to extend the reporting deadline by seven (7) days.

Bio-metric Capture of Learners

This will be a big relief for most parents who are still struggling to raise the required school fees and other personal effects for their kids.

The PS has at the same time told schools to capture all the learners on the National Education Management Information System, Nemis. “Schools should use the extension to trace their learners who have not reported and at the same time capture all reported learners in NEMIS,” directs Dr Kipsang.

This comes after reports showed that most schools had abandoned the online registration process due to technical hitches. The system has been reportedly facing serious downtime due to the large number of requests.

By Thursday, January 16, 2020, ony twenty percent of the learners had been captured on Nemis.

Primary school head teachers have also been directed to use their 2019 candidates’ list to ensure that they have been placed in secondary schools. “They (Head Teachers) should report any child who is out of school for any reason to their respective Sub-county Directors (and) National Government Administrative Officers,” adds the PS.
