Kenya has a serious bullying problem. It is one of the countries with the highest levels of bullying in high schools in the world, with 57 per cent of students getting bullied on one or more days in a month as reported in a survey by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in collaboration with the United States Centre of Disease Control (CDC).
This is despite the fact that bullying in secondary schools was officially banned in 2013 through the Kenyan Basic Education Act.
