President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday donated three buses to schools.
Teachers and other officials from the schools travelled to State House to receive the donations.
Beneficiaries of the buses are Nyiro Girls’ Secondary School (Samburu County), Archbishop Eliud Wabukala ACK Malakisi High School (Bungoma County) and Thika School for the Visual Impaired (Kiambu County).
In a statement shared on the State House official Facebook page, Uhuru said that his government will not relent in the fight to transform the education sector.
He asked the students to work with diligence so that they can achieve their dreams.
The head of state also reminded the students that they need to change this nation and that they can only do so through hard work.
“There is no place called far in Kenya. Everywhere in Kenya is part of Kenya. And it is the responsibility of any decent government to ensure that our children wherever they may be feel that they are treated in exactly the same way as their colleagues and counterparts in other parts of the country,” the President said in part of the post.
He also said that the government has allocated funds to cater for the education sector.
“As government, we are determined to fulfil our promise and ensure that every primary school pupil who sits for national exams joins secondary school. If that is our promise, why do you have to cheat?” Uhuru said.
The ceremony was attended by Joseph Kinyua (Head of Public Service), Isaac Mwaura (nominated senator), Maison Leshomo (Samburu Woman Representative) and Samburu West MP Naisula Lesuuda.
