West Pokot Governor Simon Kachapin has welcomed the establishment of a modern digital Centre of Excellence, saying it is long overdue as it shall help address the surging numbers of unemployed youth in society.
Speaking while hosting a team led by the Konza Technopolis Chief Manager Construction, Operations Management Engineer Antony Sang on a site tour for the establishment of a modern digital Centre of Excellence within the county.
The Governor noted that despite the earlier visit and the identification of a site at Bendera in the Siyoi ward, so much has happened and the 1.4 acres needed for the project could not be reached owing to some logistical challenges. "So much has happened and the Bendera site, which was the most appropriate, now lacks the recommended land size for the grand project.
However, as a county we are not short of government land resources and we do not want to delay the project," reiterated Kachapin.
