On Sunday, President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered the closure of all educational institutions. Even though the order was that schools could close from yesterday, most, if not all, decided to send the children home on Monday. Where I work, staff were allowed to work from home. This, of course, is a tall order considering that with the children at home, a parent is easily turned into a human toy to play with. Children love to play with their parents and any attempt to chase them away will be met with frowns and loud protests.
