To ensure that all students are accounted for, the Secretary General of Basic Education Belio Kipsang asked parents to return the students for accounting before sending them home.
In his request to parents, the Minister of Internal Affairs Kithur Kindiki he said the students needed to be returned for the purpose of equipment and advice.
The government also asked those who may have taken students following the fire to return them to the school.
This announcement has come after it was found that some parents and guardians took it upon themselves to take their children without checking the authorities and service providers in the disaster area.
