A Turkana Member of the County Assembly has said although his ward has never had a secondary school it was not in a hurry to get one.

Lorengippi/Lokiriama ward rep, Patrick Imana said, should one be set up, it would serve as a donkey shed because it would be underutilised.

“We will only prioritise a secondary school when we hit a total of 10 primary schools in the entire ward,” Mr Imana said. “There is no need to rush to have one.”
