The constituency CDF Chairman Dancan Omenge, standing in for MP Ben Momanyi, said the institution will help local youths to enroll for courses such as electrical engineering, plumbing among other courses.
“Borabu Technical Training institute will help youths to get skills in various courses to enable them earn a living. The problem of walking for long distances to seek technical skills in far institutions is now a past tense in the constituency,” said Omenge.
