Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati has today (Monday) hosted the US Ambassador to Kenya Kyle McCarter at his office in Bungoma town.
The Ambassador had paid a visit to discuss on issues in the county more specifically on the governor’s projects including the scholarships and vocational training and also skills and development among the people of Kenya focusing more on the residents of Bungoma.
Addressing the members of the press, Ambassador McCarter noted that their aim is to visit the whole country to create awareness and understanding to the people of Kenya so that they should always focus on what’s best for them and not for the interests of any politician.
He expressed his satisfaction to the county government’s projects more so on scholarships that have seen many students from humble backgrounds but with dreams acquire education.
He further appreciated the presence of vocational training centres which will give a chance to people with different skills but did not secure a chance to go to colleges to showcase their abilities.
“Just because one did not go to university does not mean they have no talent. Neither does it mean they can’t harness their talents to make as much money as the next person,” Ambassador McCarter said.
McCarter further committed support from the American government to improve the infrastructure and capacity of vocational training centres in Bungoma county.
