Governor Joseph Ole Lenku to sponsor 20 rescued Girls at Kajiado AIC Boarding School:-
Kajiado County Government has launched a new sponsorship plan for girls rescued from early marriages and female genital mutilation.
The pupils at Kajiado AIC Girls Boarding School will for the first time benefit from bursaries at both the ward and county levels.
Addressing parents, pupils, sponsors and teachers during a thanksgiving ceremony at the school, Governor Lenku expressed concern that the 720 pupils’ school did not have much support from the bursary kitty of the County Government.
Governor Lenku challenged the girls not to compete with local schools but with other better performers at the national level.
“We want you to aim higher. You can compete with top schools. We shall support your infrastructural development. We have already supplied the school with water. More support is on the way if you perform better,” said Governor Lenku.
The Governor was accompanied by five CECs led by Samuel Seki (Education), Alex Kilouwa (Roads), Moses Narok (Agriculture) Michael Semera (Finance) and Hamilton Parseina (Lands).

“I am pleased to announce the task force team that will spearhead this great dream of Kajiado County’s first public Technical University”,said the Governor.
The team will be chaired by Prof. Solomon Mpoke, other members of the task force are former JKUAT Vice Chancellor Prof Nick Wanjohi, Dr Naomi Kipuri, former Kajiado Central MP David Sankori, former PS Joshua Polong, Dr Alice Lakati, Mr Charles Ogada and Mr Philip Koitlel.
The taskforce has already fine-tuned the Commission for University Education’s requirements and is ready to steer the project beginning January 2018.
Beginning January, this task force will be entitled to deal with the nitty-gritties of the establishment of the institution.
“This Technical University will offer locals a priority to bridge the wide inequality gap in access to higher education.We need to rethink the size and scope of our technical manpower to drive [the] economy.The university will be ready to admit its first students in 24 months” added the Governor.
