Learning remains paralysed for more than 5,000 pupils in Baringo county as their schools were shut down due to persistent bandit attacks. Some 180 pupils of Mukutani Primary School in Baringo South are still at Eldume camp for the internally displaced. The pupils were among more than 800 Ilchamus residents who were displaced by armed Pokot bandits on March 14. We are yet to settle because we fear for our lives,” head teacher Jackson Lecher told The Star on Thursday. Joshua Cheptarus, the Kenya National Union of Teachers executive secretary for Baringo, said pupils and teachers were fearful.
