The government is adopting a new strategy aimed at safeguarding the lives of teachers working in terror-prone counties of North Eastern and Upper Coastal regions. Interior CS Kithure Kindiki told MPs on Wednesday the strategy includes pooling teachers together and accommodating them in secure spaces in those regions. Kindiki said going forward, the government is determined to ensure the security of teachers working in terror-prone areas is a priority matter. He said besides pooling teachers in secure places, other short-term measures include heightening security in schools located in unsafe regions. His remarks come just a day after two people died following suspected terror attacks along the Lamu-Witu Garsen Highway Tuesday morning.
