President William Ruto has confirmed that the government will commence the construction of the Baringo University College of Technology (BUCT) in April.
Speaking during the burial ceremony of Baringo Senator William Cheptumo in Baringo on Saturday, March 1, the president noted that the construction of the university will commence once the necessary approvals from the Commission for University Education are made. "Requests have been forwarded to the Commission of University Education, and when it is complete in the next one month, in April, we will come and start the construction of the university by the grace of God," he stated.
Acknowledging Cheptumo's sharp focus on education prosperity, Ruto said that the construction of the university will serve as a remembrance of the leader and his commitment to elevate Baringo's education capacity.
