Centre reels in neglect despite Sh9m allocation

Classrooms at Kapau Early Childhood Education centre in Baringo are run down. But this does not stop the little ones from flocking to school every day, sitting on dusty floors as they await instructions.

Onesmus Pkiyeny, a Standard Eight dropout, teaches at Kapau. Here there are no chairs even for the teacher. Pkiyeny says since inception of the ECDE centre in 2014, not a single desk has been supplied.
