Students from different schools in Transmara, Narok County turned violent during a set book live performance that had been organized in one of the schools on Sunday.

The incident has left two students admitted at Kilgoris Sub-County hospital.

The students were part of a group of five schools that had converged at Poroko Secondary school for a live set books performance, before the show dissolved into acrimony followed by violent scenes.

Trouble began when the teacher on duty Fred Machokaa, spotted some boys from Kilgoris boys school in a compromising situation with one of his female students.

Upon urging them to disperse, the seemingly agitated boys descended on him with blows and kicks, prompting students from Poroko to come to the aid of their teacher.

As a result, students from the visiting school began throwing plastic chairs, pieces of rocks and a hail of other projectiles at their hosts, provoking chaos that left three students seriously injured and property of unknown value destroyed.

Two students who suffered head, neck and chest injuries were admitted at a private hospital in Nyangusi, in fair condition while a third was treated at Kilgoris sub-county hospital where he was treated and discharged in fair condition.

The three young men were aged between 18 and 21.

During the 5pm incident, Police officers based at Kilgoris police station had a difficult time containing the riotous students who destroyed the school bus belonging to Poroko, window panes in one of the dormitories and plastic chairs.

Investigations into the incident are still ongoing.

Deputy President William Ruto has once again boasted of several government projects.

While addressing residents of Kilgoris in Transmara on Thursday, October 7, 2021, Ruto took credit for the ongoing and completed government projects.

Among the projects are a sugarcane factory, road constructions, a teacher-training college and electricity access in Narok County.

He said this while continuing to criticize Raila and Uhuru for the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).

“I am neither a drunkard nor a fool, and I am not mad as well. I have said that those who are seeking to create positions for themselves by amending the constitution will have to wait until the youth have jobs,” stated Ruto.

While addressing hundreds of residents who lend him an ear, Ruto promised to improve the lives of Small and Medium Entrepreneurs and the youths.

“While we were here in 2013, only 20,000 households were connected to electricity. Now there are about 90,000 connected households,” the DP said.

He added that because all those projects were successful, one important thing remaining is to create jobs for the youth and support SMEs.

“We don’t want the rich to disturb us with constitutional amendments to create seats for themselves. That will wait until we all have jobs,” Ruto added.

He also said unlike his UDA party, his rivals have no proven track record and that their only agenda is fighting him.

“I helped President Uhuru build new roads and even a railway line, do you think implementing the Bottom-up economic model is hard for me?” he posed.

After the address, he donated one million shillings to women in small businesses and Sh 3 million to Boda Boda operators in Migori.
