Baringo School Saving Men From ‘Shoot to Kill Order’ 

For years, the government has used various methods to counter bandits in Kerio Valley, including shoot-to-kill orders.

Tiaty secondary school in Baringo County has launched a special admission program targeting young men in the area to save them from the lurking danger, as part of the government’s reform agenda targeting youths in the region.

Speaking to the media on June 27, the school principal, Moses Lourien, revealed that the admission was intended to reform many of the locals who had chosen to join bandit groups in the region after completing their primary education.

He stated that the program’s goal was to restore the region’s tarnished name.

“Education has really transformed this place, especially in eradicating other behaviour which has given this land a very bad name,” he stated.

On his part, Danielo Lumatwa, one of the students who returned to class after 10 years expressed that the program was beneficial to him with the hope of securing his future.

He revealed that he returned to school in 2019 after joining a religious group and hopes to study medicine at one of the country’s universities in the near future.

“I was not thinking straight and this worsened when I began indulging in alcohol. One time I sat on my own and pondered about returning to school.

"My thinking was that I had stayed at home for 10 years and that it would be easy to spend four years in school. I want to study hard and become a doctor,” Lumatwa stated.

Following the rise of bandit attacks in the area, which claimed the lives of three students earlier this month, the government imposed a dusk to dawn curfew in the Kerio Valley.
