A school in Kabulokor, in Turkana County has been closed indefinitely due to escalating insecurity caused by frequent bandit attacks targeting residents and teachers. The closure follows a violent confrontation between bandits and police officers, resulting in three bandits being shot dead in the area. Authorities have vowed to take decisive action against the aggressors to restore peace and security to the area.
Secondary school heads in Kenya warn of potential early closures for the midterm break due to delayed government capitation payments. Schools have only received 8,300 Kenya Shillings per student this year, short of the expected 11,000 Shillings for term one, leading to financial struggles. Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machu assures that no school will close early and promises that the second term capitation will be released soon, though no specific timeline was provided. Schools urge the Ministry to address funding discrepancies and ensure timely disbursements to avoid operational disruptions.
