Machakos County government through the Ministry of Education (MoE) has come to the aid of Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) learners who will represent the county at the national level in the music festivals in Eldoret.
The over 20 kids from Tala SA Primary School had proceeded to the national level but the institution did not have funds to facilitate their journey as well as their stay at Eldoret.
Education County Executive Committee Member (CECM) Dr Consolata Mutisya in conjunction with the Education Chief Officer (CO) and other officials offered Ksh117, 000 to facilitate transport and upkeep.
