Ruto moves embattled Education PS Bitok amid schools unrest crisis

Kenya's President William Ruto has reassigned embattled Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang. Kipsang, who was previously the Principal Secretary for Basic Education, has been moved to the State Department for Public Service. Nairobi's former Tourism Principal Secretary, John Ololtuaa, will now lead the Basic Education docket. This reshuffling occurs amidst a period of significant unrest within the country's school system.

The change in leadership at the Basic Education department is significant as it comes during a critical time of school unrest, potentially impacting the government's response and policy direction.
