Speaking during the institution’s inaugural graduation ceremony in Sang’alo, an event graced by Principal Secretary for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), Dr. Esther Thaara Muoria, Lusaka said Kenya’s future depends on a generation of skilled thinkers capable of driving economic transformation.
“Today is a day of triumph and fulfilment,” he said. “As you graduate, go out with the confidence that you are ready to work, ready to lead, ready to innovate and ready to be the generation that lifts communities, transforms industries and shapes Kenya’s future.”
Lusaka cautioned the graduands against destructive behaviour, noting that drug and substance abuse continue to cut short the dreams of many promising young people.
