It has happened and happened again. So, when it happened, immediately the headmaster called me and I immediately went there and we sent a report to the assembly and the engineer followed up immediately to the site and then we assessed it, and it came out that the wood that was used is all rotten. So, the previous job they did was to just put on some new wood on top and put new zinc. But, the bonding between the new and the old wood could not happen because the down one was rotten and it was only the top one was strong hence what happens in April -May 2020” He explained According to the Assemblymember, after the costing with the assembly, the assembly concluded to do what he described as ‘total roofing’ before the arrival of COVID-19 and a directive was given for all schools to closed down.

He further reiterated that since the reopening of schools in January, he has been following the issue up with the district assembly.
