President Uhuru Kenyatta has said that the government will remain steadfast in its various efforts to ensure that all Kenyan children attain basic education.
The President who spoke at State House Nairobi when he handed over a 52-seater bus to Kamacharia Girls Secondary School from Murang’a County said that the Government will continue investing in the expansion of school infrastructure to ensure that all Kenyan children have access to education.
To show appreciation for the efforts by the government and their parents, the Head of State challenged students across the country to work hard in their studies by avoiding detractors associated with the vain pursuit for short term gratifications including sexual relations.
“Work hard, be diligent. You have a long way to go. Let us not be in a rush, there is no need to rush be focused in your studies,” said the president.
