Questions abound over the Ministry of Education's decision to exclude health experts from inspection tours of schools to ascertain health standards and safety risks in the institutions.
The Kenya Environmental Health and Public Health Practitioners Union (KEHPHPU) raised the concerns just a couple of days after the ministry announced that government officials would conduct thorough inspection exercises in all boarding schools to assess facilities and the learning environment.
Speaking after a visit to Lugulu Girls National High School, KEHPHPU Secretary-General and CEO Brown Ashira noted that the ministry has been evaluating health standards in various institutions without involving trained health experts.
