Kenya's Education CS Julius Ogamba has assured Parliament that Laromoru Primary School in Baringo South will continue operating at its current location despite a partial demolition by the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) in early 2026. He confirmed an agreement with his forestry counterpart to halt further demolitions and pledged government support to restore normal learning conditions after pupils were forced to learn under trees.

• The school was established just two years prior as a peace intervention to mitigate inter-community conflict.
• Education CS Julius Ogamba consulted with the Cabinet Secretary overseeing forestry matters to secure the school's continuity.
• Laromoru Primary School is officially registered with a Ministry of Education code and a Teachers Service Commission (TSC) code.

Education CS Julius Ogamba has pledged to take action against school principals and education inspectors colluding on unlawful school fees. This commitment comes after tough questioning from Members of Parliament during a legislative retreat in Naivasha.

• CS Ogamba acknowledged the existence of illegal levies, blaming collusion between school principals and education inspectors.
• The Ministry of Education plans to amend the Basic Education Amendment Act and introduce legal consequences for officers failing to enforce regulations.
• New policy guidelines on school fees, uniforms, and remedial charges will be gazetted this week, covering both day and boarding schools.
• President William Ruto intervened last week, directing that students transitioning to Grade 10 be allowed to report to schools regardless of uniform or fee payment.
