The President acknowledged the pressing security issues in regions such as Baringo, West Pokot, and Turkana, where schools remain closed due to banditry problems.
President Ruto emphasized that addressing insecurity within Kenya is a top priority, citing the deployment of thousands of military and police officers to the North Rift region to restore peace and ensure the reopening of schools. He highlighted the progress made in enhancing security measures domestically, including school renovations and increased police presence.
