The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Narok Branch held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the William Ole Ntimama Stadium in Narok town on Saturday, a highly attended event that brought together educators, government officials, and union leaders from across the region.
The highlight of the day was the presentation of a brand-new bus by Narok Governor Patrick ole Ntutu, who personally donated the vehicle to the KNUT Narok Branch to support teachers’ activities and welfare programs within the county.
The governor said the donation was a token of appreciation for the critical role teachers play in shaping the future of society through education.
Governor Ntutu noted that teachers remain the backbone of Kenya’s human resource development and deserve recognition for their dedication and service. He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to working closely with the education sector to enhance learning outcomes across Narok County.
“This bus is a small way of showing our appreciation to teachers for their selfless service to our children. Education remains the greatest equaliser, and we must continue to support those who make it possible,” said Governor Ntutu.
