Five thousand Baringo learners were unable to return to school on Monday as crocodiles and hippos occupied flooded school compounds. They even have entered homes, which are mostly abandoned. Eighteen schools were flooded or half-submerged as waters of Lakes Baringo, Bogoria and Lake 94 continue to rise. “The water has covered the entire school compound up to the walls of the classrooms. We stare at deadly crocodiles and hippos," Loruk Primary School head teacher Luka Kandie said on Monday.
