Migori county clergy have raised concern over heightened political heat and poor infrastructure ahead of school re-opening on May 10.

Under the Interreligious Council of Kenya, the clergy said it is sad that there is tension politically as politicians have started digging in stance ahead of 2022 general elections.

Charles Otigo said most politicians have started campaigning and have left development work despite a full financial year ahead of next elections.

Otigo said the council did a survey of six schools in the county where the ration of teachers stands at one for every 54 students while 40 students still share a toilet.

“What the srvey has pointed is that we still have a long way to go in fighting Covid 19 as infrastructure is still poor,” he said.

Otigo, in a statement read at a local hotel in Migori said they “appreciate the effort of the government and other stakeholders for putting in place measures to slow the spread of the virus:”

“We still grapple with issues of crime and security, we need leaders to help in the process of improving infrastructure in schools,” he said.
