President William Ruto brought a massive surprise to Kisii County today, proving that a development tour can have a personal touch. While visiting the Nyamache Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), the Head of State thrilled the student body by donating Ksh500,000 specifically for a celebratory luncheon.

​But the visit wasn't just about the meal; it carried heavy weight for the future of medical education in Kenya.

​Beyond the Lunch: Big Wins for Students

​While the Ksh500k donation stole the headlines, the President and Education CS Julius Ogamba dropped some major policy news that will change the lives of many KMTC students:

​The Funding Revolution: The government is fast-tracking the Higher Tertiary Placement and Funding Bill. This means KMTC and TVET students will finally have access to government loans—just like university students receive HELB.

​Next Semester Start: The President didn't just make a vague promise; he directed the Ministry to ensure these funds are ready for allocation as early as the next semester.

​Addressing Staffing: Acknowledging the struggles of many campuses, Ruto pledged more resources to hire additional lecturers to match the growing student population.
