- Kenyans are shocked and angry after revelation of non-existent school in Baringo County

- Another school, Kamppi Nyasi Secondary School, is facing a similar situation, with local residents deriding it as just another road and ravine in the area.

Despite a huge sign proudly announcing the existence of Kaptiony Girls High School, the only evidence of the school's existence is a neatly labeled gate in one of the bushes.
The grounds of this school are so vast with beautiful trees that it can be mistaken for a research center.
According to the report, the school does not exist anywhere and there is no single structure or student guide to the school. No, it's not because of the bandits that are rampant in the area.
The school reportedly has board members and a tuition account, but no active learners to show where all the funds are going.
Kamppi Nyasi Secondary School is in the same predicament, with local residents making fun of the school's location on roads and ravines in the area.

@jymohAfrica1:
“Kenya is a country with its own character. Besides, how can you think that a school is haunted?”
@Ronald Kandi001:
“I'm from that very area and I'm a member of the community. This is a big lie and politically motivated. These are all schools that are going to be built and no funding has been allocated for them yet.”
@Edward Kim5:
“Illegal activities are taking place in every corner of this country. Constituency MPs should be interviewed and tell Kenyans how much money they have allocated to schools so far.”
