According to NCRC’s report, 'Rapid Assessment of Arson Crisis in Secondary Schools in Kenya', cases of school unrest are particularly prevalent during the second term of the academic calendar. NCRC provides recommendations for addressing and preventing these incidents in schools.

Student protests, school unrest, and incidents of arson have increasingly become a matter of national concern. A trend has emerged where school fires appear to be deliberate, recurring, and, in some cases, ritualistic acts within schools.

The recent incidents of student unrest demand serious introspection and a coordinated response from all those entrusted with the welfare of our children. Government is treating the matter with the urgency and attention it deserves as we work towards sustainable solutions that protect learners and safeguard the integrity of our education system.

This afternoon, I held a consultative session with the National Crime Research Centre (NCRC) to review the recent wave of unrest that has affected schools across the country. The incidents, which continue to occur in different parts of the country, have disrupted learning, damaged school infrastructure, and most tragically, claimed young lives, including at Utumishi Girls Senior School in Gilgil.

We reviewed the NCRC's research on school unrest and the factors associated with it, including drug and substance abuse, parental influences, student welfare concerns, school governance challenges, policy changes, and wider societal pressures. I noted that the persistence of these incidents suggests a growing disconnect between traditional models of school administration and the realities confronting today's learners.

There is a need to rethink, recalibrate, and reconfigure aspects of school leadership and student engagement while preserving discipline, accountability, and academic excellence. We also considered the Centre's recommendations on addressing the root causes of unrest, strengthening school safety, and safeguarding learner welfare.

The NCRC team was led by Samuel Ndiritu Wakanyua, Chairperson of the Research and Development Committee.

The study was undertaken against the backdrop of rising cases of child trafficking despite the existence of national and international legal frameworks designed to safeguard the rights and welfare of children.

The workshop provided a platform for stakeholders to engage with and validate the study’s findings, with the aim of strengthening interventions, policy responses, and coordinated efforts towards combating child trafficking and enhancing child protection in the country.

A new bill in Parliament seeks to amend the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Act.

The bill says:

— Kenya will create an official register for stateless people living in the country.
— There will be no time limit for stateless residents to apply for citizenship.
— Applicants can show communication in Kiswahili, a local dialect, or accessible formats for people with disabilities.
— They no longer need to declare an intention to permanently reside in Kenya.
