Students at Eldoret National Polytechnic were on Tuesday surprised after Deputy President William Ruto gave them Sh1 million to sponsor their end of year party.
Ruto had attended the polytechnic’s 15th graduation ceremony on Tuesday where he urged youths to enrol and take technical courses.
“Because I am here, I will do small end of year party for you guys, but that end of year party will only happen if everybody has done their homework,” said the DP jovially.
“For the end of year party, I have agreed I will give Sh1 million to the principal to organise a party for you guys just to know that the hustler was around. It will only be done under one condition that you guys must pull up your socks and must tighten your belts and focus on how to take Kenya forward beginning with yourself,” he added.
He, however, urged students to refrain from using drugs noting the scourge has killed many youths
Kesses MP Dr Swarup Mishra who was also present promised to avail top gospel musicians during the party.
