The focus is on the education sector and boarding schools in particular following the horrendous rape incident at Moi Girls school Nairobi. Days after the incident, several other cases of attempted rape in school have come to the fore, raising concern on the safety of the student in boarding schools.

But even with the sweeping changes, stakeholders feel more needs to be done to be done to alleviate students’ security across the country.
