"Normalcy has returned in the region. We have embarked on renovating 10 more schools across the six counties," Saman said.
In December, President William Ruto, speaking during the Kimalel goat auction, ordered the reopening of 21 schools that closed down due to banditry.
The renovation of the schools that started in May last year will cost taxpayers a total of Sh100 million.
Baringo County Commissioner Stephen Kutwa said the area is calm. "The renovations will be completed before we reopen schools. We are expecting a big number of learners. The mop-up of learners is ongoing to ensure they attend school with guaranteed security."
The military has been spearheading the operation since February 13 last year. It is aimed at ending cattle rustling and initiating key development projects to open up the region for business.
