Mystery of boy, 17, who left home in March, never to be seen again KENYA Clinton Biko  | April 22rd 2021 James Vala. On March 24, James Vala, dressed in dark grey jeans, a black jumper, and a cape, left home in Langas Estate,   Eldoret   - never to return. The 17-year-old form two student at Wareng High School in   Uasin Gishu   had lunch with his younger brother, Alex Ndandu before he left home. What followed is an agonising search that until yesterday afternoon, was yet to bear fruits. Ndandu still wonders where his brother is. "I thought he had gone to see my mother who sells groceries in Kona Mbaya, a stone-throw away from the house.
