Outcry as schools force children to report too early

Limuru, Kiambu County, is known to be one of the coldest townships in the country, with fog and mist covers a norm. It is 5am and as always, it is freezing outside, yet, your child, in a pair of short-trousers, is stranded outside the school gate waiting for the gatekeeper to open. This is the scenario that most parents have been forced to picture after a netizen shared a photo of school kids, aged about seven and below, seated outside a school gate in Limuru at 5.30am waiting for the gate to be opened.

@ProfMagoha Why subject children to this? Official Time for schools should be communicated by the government. pic.twitter.com/fCK7GQgcK6
