Detectives in Keiyo South, Elgeyo Marakwet County are investigating circumstances under which about 500 boxes containing Government text books meant for Junior Secondary School (JSS) learners were found abandoned along the Kaptagat Kaptarakwa murram Road inside Kaptagat Forest on Saturday morning.
Labels on the boxes indicate the consignment was meant for Nyamira North and Nyamira South sub-counties.
Preliminary investigation indicates the truck carrying the books might have been hijacked and hijackers offloaded the books and left with the motor vehicle.
