This contractor is commencing the works today, so that in the next two months I will return to commission it. For every child who comes here for the first time, I will buy them uniforms and shoes. These children have come here with uniforms from other schools, and the other ones have come with home clothes. But even before the uniforms arrive, these children should continue learning,” Ruto said
The presence of key figures, including Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja and local MPs, underscored the significance of the occasion.
