Nyeri Senator Wahome Wamatinga is calling for the expansion of Tetu Technical and Vocational Educational Training Centre to help the institution realize its goal of inculcating critical technical skills to young people.

The lawmaker, who had paid a visit to the centre yesterday, said the college lacked ample learning space to accommodate the large number of learners.

The legislator noted that, despite the growing number of learners seeking admission at the institution, there was hardly enough space to spare forcing some to take their lessons in tents and along corridors.

The institution, he said, initially admitted only 100 learners but the number has now jumped to 1,600 thus straining the institutions' ability to accommodate them.
