NAIROBI: More than three weeks after schools reopened for the second term, over 30 institutions along the borders of West Pokot, Turkana and Baringo counties still remain closed due to insecurity.

A recent survey by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) shows over five schools in Yatya within Baringo County were shut down due to the recent spate of insecurity.
