Bat Attack


Parents kill 2,000 bats in school library

Parents of Torsogek Primary School in Kericho killed thousands of bats that had invaded the school’s library.

The parents said they killed the more than 2,000 bats yesterday after the Government failed to help them. They killed the bats by spraying them with chemicals using hand-held pumps.

"The parents came to the school armed with more than 100 litres of chemicals and removed the ceiling of the library to gain access to the roof top where the bats lived," said Mr Sammy Boen, the school’s head teacher.

The school was built at a cost of Sh27 million with the help of Mr Paul Melly, the Standard Group vice-chairman and strategy advisor.
