Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has hailed the increased enrollment for technical courses in the region, attributing it to the government's efforts to revolutionize the sector.
Speaking in Kitale, Natembeya singled out the county government's improved capitation, which saw an increase from Sh 2,000 to Sh 13,000 this Financial Year as a major contributing factor to the increased enrollment.
Terming it a game changer in technical and vocational training, Natembeya added the increased capitation is among the many steps the county government has undertaken to fulfill the commitment of revamping the sector to equip local youth with skills necessary for nation building. "When we took over from the previous government, technical and vocational training was underfunded, understaffed, and underutilized.
Today, the narrative has shifted dramatically with many learners registering for technical courses," he said.
