Isinya Sub-County Deputy County Commissioner Ruben Ratemo has called on investors to prioritize education infrastructure investments as a catalyst for development in the region.
Speaking at the launch of Kitengela Royal School in Kitengela, Kimalat area off Namanga Road, Ratemo expressed confidence that the new school would significantly open up the area, offer employment, and contribute to educational advancement.
“This is just my third day at work since my posting to Isinya Sub-County, and I am happy to be here as we launch Kitengela Royal School. I am very impressed with this facility. This school is a beacon of hope and growth for this area and the larger Isinya Sub-County. By investing in quality education infrastructure, we are investing in the future of our children and community. Kitengela Royal School will not only provide learning but will also unlock opportunities for development in the area as well as offer employment to the locals,” Ratemo said.
Further, Ratemo pledged the government’s support for the school, noting that they will make sure it operates in a secure environment and receives guidance from the Ministry of Education.
“As a government, we will support Kitengela Royal School in security matters and advise them on education through the Ministry of Education, as they must align with the ministry’s requirements for every school. I also urge the locals to take care of this school because it is now part of their community,” he added.
Kitengela Royal School Director Veronicah Mutua expressed gratitude for the support and outlined the school’s commitment to holistic education.
“We are honored to welcome the community and stakeholders to a school designed with the child at its heart. Our goal is to nurture not only academic excellence but also creativity, innovation, and character development. We believe that every child deserves an environment where they can grow confidently and become future leaders. This is a school for the whole community,” she said.
Speaking at the same event, Kajiado County Education Board Chairperson Angela Lapasi echoed Ratemo’s sentiments.
“This moment marks not just the opening of a new institution but the unfolding of a shared vision for excellence. Today we are planting a seed whose roots will nourish generations while, at the same time, positively impacting the community,” Lapasi said.
Kitengela Royal School offers dedicated facilities for junior school, primary school, and kindergarten learners, with plans to expand into a full senior school soon.
The school boasts spacious classrooms explicitly designed to inspire curiosity, modern computer and science labs aimed at fostering innovation, as well as music, art, and sports facilities where children’s talents will be nurtured.
