St William learning centre in Otonglo Kisumu County is one of the institutions facing closure since it does not meet construction standards. County officials claimed that many of such schools do not have play grounds but continue to charge pupils exorbitantly thus swindling parents and putting children’s health at risk.

Kisumu County Government has put on notice owners of pre-school education centres that do not meet construction and safety standards.

This follows reports of mushrooming makeshift schools, mainly constructed using galvanised corrugated iron sheets. County officials say many of such crude institutions do not have toilets and are not fenced.
