Teachers are reportedly stranded in major towns in Nandi County after they honoured Government orders requiring them to vacate school houses during the course of national examinations.

Officials from teachers’ unions yesterday said some teachers had asked them to intervene as they were finding it difficult to find rental houses in Kapsabet, Kobujoi and Nandi Hills.
