Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has said the schools that were vandalised by bandits will be reconstructed.
"The 15 schools that were vandalised and destroyed in Tiaty will be reconstructed," he said.
"All learners must go back to school."
He said the government will make sure learners are secure to facilitate uninterrupted learning.
Kindiki said the state will establish irrigation projects along the Kerio River.
"We will establish irrigation projects that will bring together people from all communities so that as they work together, peace will prevail," Kindiki said.
He said to bring sustainable peace, the government will construct five schools so that learners from different communities like the Pokot, Marakwet and Turkana can convene at a central point for studies.
"Schools will help them learn together, stay together and work in unison so they may help us bring peace and stability to the region in the days to come," Kindiki said.
The CS had also called for schools that were closed down in West Pokot to be reopened after they were vandalised by bandits.
During a security meeting in West Pokot on Thursday, Kindiki said the state has set aside up to Sh100 million for the reconstruction of the schools.
"All schools that were vandalised by bandits and armed criminals in West Pokot will immediately be reconstructed by the Kenya Defence Forces, supported by NYS officers, reopened and more teachers recruited and deployed to ensure learning resumes fully and continue uninterrupted," he said.
