It was too dangerous to go to school in Kapedo — until the state started putting up perimeter walls. The government is spending Sh24.4 million on walls to protect Kapedo schools from attacks by cattle rustlers, bandits and clan fighters. In 2014 twenty-one police officers were killed at Kapedo in Turkana East by suspected Pokot bandits. Building perimeter walls around Kapedo schools will at least reduce attacks on learners and provide a conducive environment for studies, " he said. He said the Kapedo schools requiring walls are Lomelo Primary School, Kapedo Girls Primary School and Kapedo Secondary School.
