The Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, was contemplating introducing military training in schools as part of the education curriculum.
This was revealed by a senior Government official who said that the President and his Deputy were considering the proposal as a way of addressing insecurity in schools and keeping students safe.
The idea was supported by several leaders, among them Gongoni Ward Representative, Alfred Kiraga, who said that the education system should encompass a mandatory paramilitary training similar to that in Israel and other countries to make the youth patriotic and for self defence to avoid a Garissa-like situation where 147 students were massacred like flies by only 4 terrorists.
“There is need to make changes in the country’s education curriculum to make it mandatory for all citizens to undergo paramilitary studies. This will address security concerns our country is faced with,” said Kiraga.
If the proposal goes through, there would be no need for Recce Squad in case the Al Shabaab attack a school in Kenya.
