CS Magoha announced the directive on Tuesday at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development where he released the Form One selection results for 2020 KCPE candidates.
"Those seeking services of school buses must get authority from the Ministry. For the avoidance of doubt, school buses are to carry children using Covid-19 protocols, action is to be taken against anybody using the buses for any other reason,” he said.
“We will not sit and allow people to misuse facilities of our children…We will give authorization from Jogoo house, it does not matter if you are a government official,” Magoha added.
According to Magoha, the school buses are hired by people going to funerals and weddings at a fee and not fumigating them, therefore subjecting teachers and children to Covid-19 disease.
The CS directed learners to text index number to 22263 to know the schools they have been posted to.
