The Alliance High School has received a major infrastructure boost after President William Ruto pledged Ksh 550 Million including Ksh 60 Million for the construction of 40 classrooms.
This comes as the school marks the 100 years of continuous academic excellence and development.
Speaking during the event, the President Ruto commended the school for its rich history of academic excellence, noting that it has produced some of the finest leaders and professionals in the country.
He committed that the government will continue to support the school, particularly in infrastructure development.
Out of the Ksh 550 Million, Ruto said Ksh200 million has been allocated for the improvement of roads around the school, Ksh60 million for a sports academy.
Earlier, President Ruto handed over a 640-bed dormitory worth Ksh155 million and a dining hall that cost Ksh88 million, both funded by the government.
