Speaking in Mombasa, Kinuthia said journalists will not be allowed to enter schools freely and cover issues there.

In addition, only the CS and PS are authorized to address the media and therefore field officers including County Directors, SubCounty Directors, Principals, and HeadTeachers will not address the media.

This comes in the backdrop of challenges facing learners reported by the media on the reopening of schools.
