Mukumu Girls students will now report to school on May 8 and not May 2 as earlier announced by a committee formed to oversee the reopening of the institution.

Western Regional Commissioner Irungu Macharia, who is chairing the team tasked with the implementation of recommendations from the ministries of Health and Education, said that the adjustment will allow for the completion of renovations and other work at the school.
