Education CS, Ezekiel Machogu has announced the replacement of Mukumu Girls’ High School principal.
Frida Ndolo, the School’s Principal was replaced by Sr Jane Mmbone Wamukoya.
The CS made the announcement on Saturday when he visited the school.
This follows the deaths of three students and a teacher and the hospitalization of more than 500 students after taking contaminated food and water.
Ndolo came under fire after reports of water and food contamination leading to the death of two students at the school came out.
She instead blamed the media for the school’s closure in a circular addressed to parents.
She accused the media of creating a “toxic environment” which she claimed led to the school’s closure.

He said a water purification system worth Ksh6 million will be given to the school.
Machogu announced that the school will be reopened in two weeks.
He said students will receive guidance and counseling following the tragedy.
