MERU, JULY 29, 2016 (CISA) – St. Pius X Minor Seminary in Nkubu Meru has become one of the latest schools to be affected by arson that is going on in schools in Kenya. Two students have been arrested in connection with the arson and were taken to Nkubu Police Station for interrogation. The number of secondary schools affected by the fires that began in June have increased to over 100, even as stake holders argue over whether to close the schools early or not. The government has insisted that the schools which are set to close on August 12 will not be closed early while Kenya National Union of Teachers is calling for early closure to save other school property. Stakeholders including the Ministry of Education, the Teachers Service Commission, School Heads Associations and parents are working together to bring an end to the torching of school property.
