"All Schools Must Remain Closed From Tomorrow," President Uhuru Comfirms.

Today, 20 September 2015, the president of the republic of Kenya made a speech to clear the air about a circular which was issued to all schools that they should be closed as from Monday. He has made it clear that all the schools will be closed and 3rd term will be rescheduled to the dates that will be given soon.

He has also said that the wage bill is too high and if the teachers are given the increment, they will be forced to borrow money, raise taxes or stop the development plans to pay the teachers which he has termed as impossible. This will affect the country's economy negatively and raise the cost of living.

The president also urgued that kenyan teachers are the 3rd highest paid teachers in Africa despite the Kenya's small economy compared to other African countries.

In conclusion he has urged the teachers to have hearts as parents and also Kenyans and go back to school for the benefit of the children and the country at large.
