Billions Ruto has Received from China this Morning
On Tuesday, March 26, President William Ruto officially announced that Kenya had been granted Ksh13 billion from China to support the enhancement of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) facilities across the nation.
During the commemoration of 100 years of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Kenya at Nyeri National Polytechnic, the President emphasized the significant role these institutions play in imparting practical skills essential for the job market.
He pointed out that the funding from China would be used to enhance the facilities of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions in Kenya, aiming to make them even more competitive.
“On my way, I received news from my friends in China that we have received Ksh13 billion to equip 70 of our TVETs. It is a coincidence that we have additional equipment to equip our TVETs. If education is the key, TVETs are the master key,” he stated.
“I’m very proud today we have changed the perception of TVETs. Last year up to 9,000 students chose not to attend universities but to come to TVETs because it has been proven that it presents an opportunity for practical skills.”

The leader also commended a TVET student for making a substantial income from remote digital employment.
“Mike Mathenge has told me how he has made Ksh500,000 working online. I am talking about someone working in Nyeri at a TVET,” he noted.
” Every ward in Kenya must have an ICT hub. We will equip them and provide computer apparatus to make sure we utilize the digital expertise from the country to drive our economy.”
Furthermore, he disregarded numerous grievances voiced by bar proprietors who bemoaned their inability to conduct business due to directives issued by Interior CS Kithure Kindiki, which revoked licenses of second-generation liquor manufacturers.
“We are intentional with those who want to corrupt our young people with drugs, and illicit brew and have put down our foot that it cannot be business as usual. We can’t have a drinking nation but a working nation,” Ruto warned.
“Those who are telling us that we have closed their bars and they’re unhappy, surely, the damage we have witnessed from the youth involved in addiction. That is unacceptable!”
