Schools heads in Nyamira county allowing burial ceremonies to be carried out in their school grounds during weekdays will now risk jail time.
According to the Nyamira county education director Elijah Nyamweya, there have been reports that most primary and secondary schools grounds in the county have turned to be the host of the burial ceremonies and even political rallies.
Nyamweya was speaking from his office after having a consultative meeting with area school heads on Monday where he said that the government won’t take in any excuse over the same.
“We have already directed sub county education officers to work along with chiefs to ensure that no burial is conducted at any school grounds especially when its on a weekday,” he added.
He said that any head teacher who will allow or go against the placed order will be arrested and be prosecuted for the same immediately and also risk losing his job.
