Courtesy MetaAs schools across the country continue celebrate their sterling performances in the 2025 KCSE results, concern has been raised over the poor results posted by Lodwar Boys, a national school in Turkana County. Gabriel Lopodo, the association vice chairman, dismissed claims by the school administration that insecurity in Turkana contributed to the poor performance, arguing that the school is located far from insecurity-prone border areas. He said the explanation was not convincing and called on the principal to step aside to allow for new leadership. How does a senior principal 400 to 300 kilometres away from the border give such an excuse for dismal performance?" The standard tried to reach the principal at school and through the cellphone number over the allegations, but it bore no fruit.
