Deputy President William Ruto is expected to visit Baringo County on Friday to attend peace rallies in Baringo North and South sub-counties, following a series of banditry attacks in the area.
A group of residents from Baringo have expressed opposition to the Deputy President's visit, citing neglect by the government. They plan to boycott his attendance at the burial of a teacher from Kapindasum Primary School who died during the attacks.
The Baringo branch of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has announced the closure of all schools in affected regions due to insecurity concerns.
