Kibwezi West Member of Parliament, MP Mwengi Mutuse has handed over a complete semi-olympic swimming pool to Kalulini High School, a first of its kind to be done by a public school in Makueni County and the larger Eastern Region.
This has set the school to establish itself as a leader in Arts and Sports Science Pathway in the region.
Being one of the biggest and oldest schools in Makueni County, the school has now cut a niche in swimming which will not only equip learners with important life skills but also serve as a pathway to a potential income generating career.
MP Mwengi Mutuse who commissioned the project on Monday was upbeat that the new swimming infrastructure will now place the school at par with leading schools in other regions.
“Today I handed over to Kalulini High School a semi-olympic swimming pool that will be used by the school and neighboring ones as a teaching aid and for extra-curricular activities,” said Mutuse.
