PRINCIPAL of Mbokona School says the school is yet to receive the test result on the student that had been treated for suspicious food poising at Mbokona clinic early this month.

Mr Lency Bambu said they are yet to make any decision on whether to ban the sale of cooked food at the school compound.

“As long as we get the result, a decision will be made,” Mr Bambu said.

He said selling of cooked food still continues but only from those who has certificates from the Honiara City Council.

A primary school student was taken to Mbokona clinic two weeks ago when she felt ill after eating fish and chips sold at the school compound.

She was attended to by a nurse at Mbokona clinic and was given an antibiotic drug.

A similar incident also happened at Bishop Epalle School this year which resulted in a ban on selling of cooked food at the school compound.
