NAIROBI, Kenya Aug 13 – Schools will re-open on Thursday and not Monday as earlier announced by the government.

Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha said the change was necessitated by the ongoing vote-tallying of presidential results.

“I hereby convey the government’s decision on the suspension of the re-opening of all basic education institutions with effect from Monday August 15 until Thursday, August 18,” he said in a statement.
