Education CS George Magoha and his juniors have offered a solution that they believe will end the rising cases of indiscipline in schools.
Magoha and representatives from various religious institutions will hold several meetings to discuss the issue and hope to post chaplains in primary and secondary schools.
The task force will unveil a document in mid-February 2021, which will dictate the conduct of chaplains. It will also guide them on how to handle restlessness in schools.

Long serving Mombasa Catholic Archdiocese Vicar General Wilybard Lagho has been appointed the new bishop of the Malindi Diocese.
According to a communique from Pope Francis, Fr Lagho (pictured) will take the seat left vacant after the death of Bishop Emanuel Barabara, who died in his sleep at his home on January 5, 2018.
On Monday, Pope Francis sent a letter of Fr Lagho’s appointment to the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) through the Apostolic Nuncio to Kenya, Archbishop Hubertus van Megen.
Fr Lagho, who is known for his efforts to combat religious extremism at the Coast, is also the head of secretariat at the Archdiocese of Mombasa.
KENYA: Church Calls for Consensus on Contentious Issues in BBI
By Njoki Githinji
NAIROBI, DECEMBER 11, 2020 (CISA) – The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) has called for continued discussion on the contentious issues in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) so that an agreement can be reached among stakeholders ahead of the referendum.
“We propose a continued focus on consensus building to bring everyone on board. This is important as citizens of one country who want to approach the referendum united and soberly even though we might have different positions,” they said in a December 9 press conference led by Archbishop Philip Anyolo, Chairman of KCCB and ordinary of the Catholic Archdiocese of Kisumu.

Church leaders are rooting for consensus on the push to amend the Constitution under the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
Addressing the press yesterday after a two-day National Christian Conference, the church leaders said they neither support nor oppose the constitutional amendment process under BBI.
The conference, held at Ufungamano House in Nairobi, was themed, “Informed and Participatory Decision-Making on Constitutional Amendments”.
It was convened by the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops-Catholic Justice and Peace Commission (KCCB-CJPC) and the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) under the auspices of the Ecumenical Civic Engagement Programme (ECEP).
