Learners at the Tetu Vocational Training College in Nyeri County can now heave a sigh of relief after Senator Wahome Wamatinga led a ground breaking ceremony for construction of additional classes.
The college which has a population of 1,600 students had been stretched to the limit owing to lack of ample learning facilities which had forced some learners to do with makeshift classrooms.
When the lawmaker last visited the institution he had called for the expansion of the centre saying the college lacked ample learning space to accommodate the large number of learners who were seeking admission.
He had noted that despite the growing number of learners seeking admission at the institution, there was hardly enough space to accommodate them forcing some to take their lessons in tents and even along corridors.
