Sixty students from Kalyet Secondary School in Kipkelion, Kericho County, have been admitted to Londiani Hospital due to suspected food poisoning.
Dr. Collins Kipkoech, the hospital superintendent, reported that the students were brought in early in the morning after experiencing symptoms such as stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting.
It is believed that the students consumed Githeri that may have been contaminated.
Dr. Kipkoech mentioned that while most of the students have been stabilized and are likely to be discharged soon, a few will remain for further monitoring.
The symptoms presented, including diarrhea and vomiting, strongly suggest a case of food poisoning.
As of now, the school management has not released any statements regarding the incident.
