Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) engineers have been told to fix their mess at Mlolongo Primary School in Mavoko, Machakos County before end of the Easter Holiday.
Some parents of children studying at the school said KeNHA should speedily construct temporary classrooms for the over 1500 pupils to resume immediately once schools re-open for the second term.
They said they will not entertain more excuses from either the school's management or area provincial administration if the engineers who shoddily constructed the single storey building that houses 23 classrooms, hall, staff room, washrooms, head teacher and two deputy head teachers' offices fail to deliver the temporary classrooms before the schools re-open.
The angry parents spoke to this writer in Mlolongo town on Saturday.
"We will no longer keep our children at home next term, let the engineers fix their mess as fast as possible," a parent who sought anonymity for fear of victimization said.
Mlolongo Primary School was indefinitely closed last week after the Health Ministry ordered its closure stating that the storey building constructed by KeNHA in 2010 had developed serious cracks hence inhabitable.
Machakos County commissioner Matilda Sakwa confirmed the school's closure stating it was temporary.
Sakwa had said the KeNHA engineers would construct temporary structures to enable learning resume in few weeks time probably when schools re-open for second term.
The parents said they were annoyed since they had paid between Sh60 to Sh100 per child for end term examinations which their children did not sit.
They said the government should be keen on contractors who get tender awards for public projects to avoid scam like the one witnessed in Mlolongo Primary School.
