Some 500 students, both girls and boys, drawn from 15 primary, Junior Secondary School (JSS) and secondary schools in Kisumu County, participated in a peace debate competition aimed at promoting peaceful co-existence in learning institutions.
The Amani Club Inter-school Debate and Public Speaking contest 2025 Kisumu County Edition, was organized by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) in partnership with the Ministry of Education, the Teachers Service Commission and other partners.
Nyanza Regional Coordinator, NCIC, Castro Baraza, speaking at a press conference on the sidelines of the event held in Otieno Oyoo Secondary School, Sunday, underscored the importance of dialogue in fostering peace and unity. "Amani Clubs are here to help nurture peace in Kenyans from a young age.
We intend to have a new generation of peace builders emerging in Kenya. Also, through engaging young learners', we are not only encouraging a population that listens, but a population that speaks," Baraza noted.
