Siaya County Director of Education Japheth Masibo confirmed ordering the closure of the school indefinitely on Wednesday due to what he referred to as averting of chaos.
On Monday, Kisumu Girls High school was closed indefinitely after students’ unrest on Sunday evening.

On Tuesday, Ng’iya girls’ high school in Siaya County was closed down indefinitely due to another case of students unrest.
