Baringo North Member of Parliament, (MP) Joseph Makilap has reaffirmed his commitment to improving education in the region, describing it as the greatest equalizer in the society.
Speaking during a community meeting, Makilap urged parents to ensure their children attend school, noting that bursary funds have already been disbursed to support learners.
He pledged that Kalabata Secondary School will be upgraded to a model institution — a strategic move he believes will play a key role in curbing banditry and promoting peace.

“Insecurity has disrupted education for too long. Turning Kalabata into a model school will restore hope and show that development can defeat violence,” Makilap said.
The region has witnessed ongoing insecurity, forcing both teachers and students to flee for safety.
Learning activities have been severely affected, with some schools remaining closed. Parents and teachers have increasingly voiced their frustration, warning that they may withdraw entirely if the government fails to restore security.
Makilap assured residents that efforts are underway to complete the Kalabata project swiftly and called on all stakeholders to work together to ensure a safe and stable learning environment.
