The Kitale National Polytechnic will provide administrative and academic mentorship to the soon to be constructed Kwanza Technical Training Institute.
The institution, which is set to be put up on a 13-acre piece of land at Kwanza Centre, will be financed by the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NGCDF) under the patronage of area MP Ferdinand Wanyonyi.
“The inaugural learning programmes will be offered at our facility as the institution comes up. We will do capacity building to the teaching and non-teaching staff of the institution,” said John Akola, the principal of Kitale National Polytechnic.
Wanyonyi said the process of recruiting members of the Project Management Committee (PMC) that will develop a plan that will facilitate the construction of the Ksh60 million project, which is set to commence by July 2023, was ongoing.
“We are glad to have agreed with the Kitale National Polytechnic to offer mentorship to the institution. This is a great milestone that will address the education needs of residents of Kwanza,” said the MP.
The project had delayed due to a dispute arising from the ownership of the land, and it took the intervention of area Governor George Natembeya to allow the process to begin.
