CS Magoha announce that the decision to re-open schools in January would also affect this year's KCPE and KCSE examinations.
"KCPE and KCSE examinations for 2020 will not take place because the current Standard 7 and Form 3 students will, practically, not be able to cover the curriculum load for five terms in one year and sit for the examinations," he explained.
