Fifteen students from Taita Taveta County will benefit from a fully sponsored scholarship programme to be undertaken in Algeria, Governor Granton Samboja has announced.
Speaking during a prize giving and prayer day at Murray Girls High School, Samboja said the beneficiaries will undertake Engineering, Medicine among other science courses.
“I have held talks with the Algerian ambassador who has assured me 15 scholarships for our students. I will give one to Murray and the rest to other students across the County,” said the County boss on Sunday.
Samboja promised to deliver a 10,000-litre tank to the school and also work on a new water pipe which will ensure steady water supply to the institution.
He further promised to deliver a dairy cow that would provide the school with a constant supply of milk, thus relieving the burden of buying milk from the school. He gave accolades to the top performing students in the school in last year’s KCSE exams.
“Sky is not the limit. Work hard for a better future. We shall collaborate with parents and teachers and other stakeholders to ensure our education standards are improved,” said the governor.
