President William Ruto donated Sh1 million for student lunches during his visit to Mandera Teachers Training College on Tuesday. The gift came as part of his week-long tour of Kenya's North Eastern region. During his inspection of the facility, Ruto told the college president, "I will give you Sh1 million to buy them lunch. " The President announced plans to improve education access across the region through infrastructure development and teacher recruitment. He emphasized his commitment to providing equal opportunities for all learners. Speaking at Moi Stadium, Ruto addressed security concerns and promised decisive action against regional insecurity. He pledged to end the historical marginalization of northern Kenya through development initiatives and policy reforms. "It is my responsibility to make sure Kenya is united and every Kenyan is treated equally," Ruto said. He promised to eliminate discriminatory vetting practices for national identification cards and passports that have affected North Eastern residents. The government plans major infrastructure improvements, including the 750km Isiolo-Mandera road project. This Sh100 billion initiative, funded by multiple international partners and the Kenyan government, aims to connect the region with the rest of the country. Seven contractors have started construction. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki attended the event alongside regional governors Mohamed Adan Khalif of Mandera and Mohamud Ali of Marsabit. Cabinet Secretaries Aden Duale and Eric Muuga joined other local officials at the gathering. [/QUOTE]
