Deputy President Kithure Kindiki told the crowd at the Kenya Medical Training College graduation that his office wants to fix the HELB loan situation for students who keep getting left out of funding. He said his team will meet with Cabinet Secretaries from Health, Treasury, and Education to hammer out how medical trainees can finally tap into those loans just like university and TVET kids already do. The ceremony took down at Kasarani Stadium with 22,776 people walking across the stage to grab their certificates and diplomas.
Kindiki went off about how the government pumped 9.7 billion shillings into KMTC this year for hiring staff, building dorms through the Affordable Housing program, and getting labs properly equipped. He mentioned the Social Health Authority coverage jumped from 7.5 million people to almost 28 million since the previous administration, and the country deployed 107,000 Community Health Promoters across all 47 counties. The deputy president wrapped up by pushing graduates toward youth programs like Kazi Kwa Ground and Kazi Mtandaoni.
