President William Ruto has announced that all schools will resume classes on Monday, May 13, 2024. 

This decision follows improved weather forecasts, which indicate a decrease in heavy rains that had previously caused the postponement of school reopening.

Additionally, President Ruto has mandated that funds for the reconstruction of school infrastructure damaged by the heavy rains be allocated through the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF).
