The Gusii Mwalimu SACCO’s office has been closed for flouting the Ministry of Health’s guidelines on prevention of the deadly Coronavirus Disease (covi-19). The order to close the office, that is located in Kisii town at the Mwalimu Building, was issued by the Kisii County’s Department of Health and Sanitation.
“Due to the outbreak of (Covid-19) corona virus in the Country, it has come to the attention of the public health office that the SACCO shareholders are congregating with full disregard of the Presidential directive and MOH (Ministry of Health) advisory against the same,” says Hezron Omayio who is the Public Health officer in Kisii county.
Failure to observe social distancing by the teachers has been cited as the main reason that prompted the local authorities to take the drastic action.
Its sister SACCO, Mwalimu National, has since asked members to embrace mobile money banking and has at the same time adjusted the opening and closing hours.
The local health office observes that the teachers are gathering at the Mwalimu building and without wearing face masks hence may aid in the spread of the virus. “You are therefore required to stop operations as a mitigation measure to curb against the spread of the virus,” says Omayio warning that failure to comply would lead to legal action.
Kisii County reported its first ever Corona virus case on Tuesday April 7, 2020.

This comprehensive in-patient health cover has been introduced for NHIF contributors and their dependants. The actualization of this package is a culmination of continued reforms at NHIF. Such reforms include efficiency, arising from decentralization of NHIF services and continued partnership with health providers on enhanced quality services to all members. To enhance these benefits, NHIF has contracted hospitals under three Categories; A, B & C, to provide this in-patient medical cover and partial cover for surgical cases in some of these hospitals. Our members are at liberty to attend hospitals under any category.
Under Category A (government hospitals), members would be able to enjoy full and comprehensive cover for maternity and medical diseases including surgery. In short, they will not need to pay for anything on admission provided they are fully paid up members of NHIF. Members admitted under contract Category B (private and mission) hospitals will enjoy full and comprehensive cover but where surgery is required, the contributor may be required to co-pay.
Those visiting facilities contracted under Category C (private) will continue with the current system where NHIF pays specified daily benefits under the current arrangements. NHIF will continue to negotiate with other health providers not appearing in the list below to determine which category of contract they will sign. Members will be informed of additional hospitals as and when they sign the contracts.
Below is a list of Hospitals, Number of Beds and Contracts covered by NHIF in the Eastern Region.

Online communication has taken centre stage with the current trends and developments in Information and communications technology (ICT). Emergence of various solid Social media platforms has taken communication by a storm. Platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have become so popular among social networks.

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s proposals to introduce VAT on petroleum products have been controversially passed in parliament amid spirited opposition from the majority of the Members of Parliament. In his ruling, Speaker Justine Muturi, held that the Opposers did not meet the minimum threshold of 233 members that was needed to shoot down the bill.
Earlier…
The speaker of the National Assembly, Mr. Muturi, had re-ordered a re-vote on the President’s Proposal on introduction of VAT on petroleum products. This had been informed by the shocking details that the screens in parliament showed total voters as 352; that surpassed the possible maximum total of all members of parliament, 349.
President Uhuru Kenyatta’s proposal to introduce 8% VAT on petroleum products was controversially passed even as those opposed to the it continued to interrupt house proceedings. The opposers were unable to raise the required two thirds majority (233 MPs) to shoot down the proposals. There were only 215 members of parliament in the house by the time voting took place. A section of the Members have vehemently opposed the outcome of the vote.
The Members verbally rejected President Uhuru’s proposal to introduce the new Value Added Tax on Petroleum Products chanting ‘Zero, Zero, Bado mapambano..’ as the Question was put to the whole house committee. This happened before the vote was called.
EXIT OF SERVICE VIA COMPULSORY RETIREMENT ON AGE GROUNDS
COMPULSORY RETIREMENT ON AGE GROUNDS
A teacher shall retire compulsorily upon attaining the age of 60 years. However, teachers with disabilities shall be retired compulsorily on attaining 65 years.
Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha has been urged to provide concrete plans that his Ministry has come up with ahead of schools’ reopening in June, 2020. Amani National Congress, ANC, party leader Musalia Mudavadi has blamed the Ministry for not showing strong leadership during the current Covid-19 pandemic that has paralyzed the education sector.
Whereas the ANC leader says it was prudent to close schools in order to curb spread of the deadly disease, he has at the same time castigated the Ministry for failing to provide clear road map in the education sector.
“The fate of some 1.2 million KCPE candidates and 700,000 KCSE candidates hangs precariously in the balance. In all, about 15 million learners, who should be in school or college, are at home. While it is possible to appreciate the fears that led to the rushed closure of institutions of learning, it is difficult to come to terms with the reality that the Ministry of Education is this far still sending out speculative messages on the fate of learning; and especially on this year’s KCPE and KCSE examinations. What the country needs from the ministry are definitive messages on the way forward,” says the ANC leader.
Musalia’s outburst comes in the backdrop of Prof. Magoha’s failure in providing an address on the plans that his ministry has come up with pertaining the execution of this year’s national examinations and reopening of schools. Mudavadi says the Ministry has only made random and ad hoc pronouncements’ .
“These casual and abrupt statements have mostly been given in the sidelines of Ministry of Health briefings on Covid-19. The statements have only left the country confused and in limbo. Learners are in limbo, as are the teachers and parents,” he notes.
Mudavadi blames the Ministry for not inviting key stakeholders in the education sector to a meeting so as to chat the way forward.
“We must avoid the habit of decrees and lone-ranger approaches of the kind that the Ministry of Education is used to. Jogoo House (the Education Ministry’s headquarter), the Teachers Service Commission, the Teachers’ unions and the the Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) must constitute a team to plan what is to be done about education, going forward. They will also need to work with high level representation from the Ministry of Health and the treasury.
CS Magoha has already extended the April holiday for schools by one month. Schools were to initially open on May 4, 2020.
Musalia Mudavadi. ANC party leader.
KCSE, KCPE examinations
With CS Magoha and President Uhuru Kenyatta insisting that this year’s national examinations will go on as scheduled, Mudavadi says this is a mirage as the syllabuses for class eight and form four learners has not been covered.
“We cannot change direction in the midstream, to pretend that all is well, when we know that exam syllabuses will not be covered. We can not have exams when syllabuses have not been covered. It will throw the integrity of the and the education system into international disrepute. We certainly don’t want to go that way,” he adds.
Concerning the ongoing E-learning, Mudavadi says not all learners are able to access Televisions, radios and other electronic gadgets.
It remains to be seen if the Education Ministry will heed the advice by the ANC leader and convene a stake holders’ meeting.
Here is the full presser by Musalia Mudavadi, ANC PARTY LEADER;
GIVE KENYANS DEFINITIVE MESSAGES ON EDUCATION
1. That the new coronavirus (COVID-19) HAS DISRUPTED OUR LIVES AND ACTIVITIESeverywhere in the world requires no emphasis. The most obvious disruption, however, is in those sectors that are regulated by TIGHT ANNUAL TIMELINES. One of the most critical sectors is EDUCATION.
2. The outbreak of this virus in our country GAVE US NO CHANCE TO PLAN what to do with OUR EDUCATION and institutions of learning, DURING THE LIFE OF THE BUG IN OUR COUNTRY AND AFTER. In the arising emergency environment, the logical thing to do was to close schools and colleges, as we did, and to send the learners home.
3. The fate of some 1.2 MILLION KCPE CANDIDATES and 700,000 KCSE CANDIDATES hangs precariously in the balance. In all, about 15 million learners, who should be in school or college, are at home. While it is possible to appreciate the fears that led to the rushed closure of institutions of learning, it is difficult to come to terms with the reality that the Ministry of Education is this far STILL SENDING OUT SPECULATIVE MESSAGES on the fate of learning; and especially on this year’s KCPE and KCSE examinations. What the country needs from the ministry are DEFINITIVE MESSAGES on the way forward.
4. As the bug continues to remain with us, it is expected that the Ministry of Education could get bona fide leaders of the KEY STAKEHOLDER ENTITIES IN EDUCATION in a CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE, to reflect together and plan THE WAY FORWARD. So far, the Ministry of Education has only made RANDOM AND AD HOC PRONOUNCEMENTS. These CASUAL AND ABRUPT statements have mostly been given in the SIDELINES of Ministry of Health briefings on Covid-19. The statements have only left the COUNTRY CONFUSED AND IN LIMBO. Learners are in limbo, as are the teachers and parents.
5. Education is the mother of all the other sectors. It must demonstrate the HIGHEST LEVELS of PLANNING AND INFORMED ACTION, as a way of setting the bar for other sectors and as a sectoral necessity. To this end, we must AVOID THE HABIT OF DECREES and LONE-RANGER APPROACHES of the kind that the Ministry of Education is used to. JOGOO HOUSE, the TEACHERS SERVICE COMMISSION, the TEACHERS’ UNIONS and the KENYA NATIONAL EXAMINATIONS COUNCIL, must CONSTITUTE A TEAM to plan what is to be done about education, going forward. They will also need to work with high level representation from the MINISTRY OF HEALTH and the TREASURY.
6. The STATE OF THE ART in Education is EXTREMELY WORRYING at present. We have heard government officials say that LEARNING IS GOING ON, ONLINE. They have also said that national EXAMINATIONS WILL GO ON, as was scheduled at the start of the year. We don’t know of any PACKAGES OF MEASURES that the ministry has made for parents, teachers and learners TO FACILITATE, EQUALIZE AND MONITOR HOME LEARNING. Without CLEARLY DEFINED AND EQUITABLE STATE-OWNED AND STATE-FACILITATED LEARNING PACKAGES, it is misleading and even mischievous to claim that learning is going on. It is not.
7. Not every learner has ACCESS TO RADIO OR TV and less still to the INTERNET. Even those who can physically access these facilities are challenged with the COSTS of activating them. Let us not cheat ourselves. Let us ACCEPT THAT THINGS ARE BAD – indeed very bad – and that we may need to take some very DRASTIC DECISIONS ABOUT EDUCATION, but which decisions are good and necessary for the country, in the long term.
8. SYLLABUSES have not been covered and may not be covered. Our EXAM BASED EDUCATION is about syllabuses. We cannot change direction in the midstream, to pretend that all is well, when we know that EXAM SYLLABUSES will not be covered. WE CANNOT HAVE EXAMS when syllabuses have not been covered. It will throw the INTEGRITY OF THE EXAMS and the education system into international disrepute. We certainly don’t want to go that way.
9. Some schools, colleges and universities have been earmarked as ISOLATION CENTRES for Covid-19. Going forward, teachers, learners, parents and other stakeholders must be assisted to return to those places after they have reverted to their usual identity as NORMAL CENTRES OF LEARNING. There is need for a CLEAR STRATEGIC APPROACH TO COUNSELLING and REMOVAL OF STIGMA, ahead of reopening of these places as institutions of learning. Indeed, there is need to ensure that they are FUMIGATED AND confirmed to be SAFE AND COVID-19 FREE. We cannot just ARBITRARILY ASUME A RETURN TO NORMALCY in these places.
10. Institutions of learning also face serious FINANCIAL CHALLENGES in the days ahead, both in terms of running academic programmes and other CAPITATION and operational COSTS. This is coming in the wake of families being challenged with LOSS OF JOBS AND EARNINGS. Let us not just lumber our teachers with children before SECURING their FOOD and LEARNING NEEDS and GENERAL WELFARE in school.
11.There are many other challenges ahead of school reopening in this Covid-19 season. We must – above all the foregoing – PLAN HOW TO DEAL WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF OUTBREAKS OF COVID-19 IN SCHOOLS after the learners go back. How do we plan to manage any outbreaks? Shall we just send our children back to school without giving this any thought and MITIGATING against it?
12. Finally, there are outstanding OLD ISSUES IN EDUCATION, prior to Covid-19. Some pertain to the CHANGE OF CURRICULUM, while others are LABOUR ISSUES. The silver lining in the covid-19 tragedy is the opportunity it gives us to place our old differences and intransigence behind us, to accept to bring key stakeholder leaders together to reflect and plan together and to give education a fresh and healthy lease of life.
The future is gloom for thousands of teachers working in private schools. This is after most of the private schools moved to terminate payments to these tutors siting challenges caused by the current Corona virus pandemic. With all learning institutions closed, owners of private schools say it has become impossible for them to continue paying the teachers.
Private schools depend on fees paid by parents to run. And since fees can not be collected during the current closure period, most of these schools have opted to send their teachers on unpaid leaves until the current turbulent times are over.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances caused by Covid-19 worldwide, the board of management of Carol Academy has decided to allow you to proceed on unpaid leave effective April 1, 2020 until further notice as directed by the national government,” reads a letter by Carol Academy dated March 31, 2020.
“We regret this action but have no alternative as the school is no longer operational. We pray and hope that the situation will improve in the coming days when we shall inform you to resume work,” the school’s board adds.
Uncertainty for teachers on BOM terms
This group of teachers will find it rough in coming days as family needs stare at them. And with most home owners refusing to offer rent free houses, for the time being, it is going to be very difficult for these crop of teachers.
Elsewhere, teachers employed by Boards of Management (BOMs) will be hoping that the school heads continue releasing their pay. Some school heads have started sending signs of hard times ahead with others advising the BOM teachers to spend whatever little they may be having cautiously. “The future is uncertain. Please spend your March pay prudently as we may face difficulties in months to come if the government does not release more fund,” advised one Principal.
BOM teachers receive their pay from monies sent to schools by the Government through the Free Day Secondary Education (FDSE) programme.
The first Covid19 case was reported in Kenya on March 13. This forced the President to order for closure of all learning institutions to curb further spread of the deadly virus.
The Ministry of Education has indicated that this year’s national examinations (KCSE and KCPE) will no be postponed saying they have back up options. Schools are currently on official holiday.
