Education stakeholders in West Pokot County have called on the Government to beef up security in schools along the volatile border of West Pokot and Elgeyo Marakwet counties following the escalating insecurity in the area.
This comes after banditry and cattle rustling activities ignited in the area where five people were killed and more than 300 livestock stolen.
Some of the affected schools are Cheptulel Girls, Cheptulel Boys, Arpollo, Chesogon, Tirap, Akiriame, Amarel, Lochakula, Kamulogon, Kapushen, Kamelei, Sapulmoi and Charataka primary schools.
County Kenya National Teachers Union (Knut) Executive Secretary Martin Sembelo said the learning could be paralyzed learning in the region.
