Parents and teachers have been urged to encourage their children to study careers that will enable them to be the solution to problems like disease that are a bane to humanity.
Speaking at Kenyenya town in Kisii County, Bokimonge Ward MCA Amos Onderi, who doubles a nurse named essential careers like Medicine, Engineering and Agriculture as courses that should be embraced by the modern generation.
The Member of Kisii County Assembly said that his office will give priority to students who pursue the named careers during the distribution of Education Bursary Fund from his office.
He asked those serving in the nursing profession, other medical and Agriculture related careers not to settle on average career achievements but instead to keep on advancing their knowledge through online studies.
He was speaking at the home of the late Dr. Joel Omagwa Makanga at Kenyenya Nursing and Maternity Home.
He praised the late Makanga for rising from a simple nurse to a doctor who founded his own hospital in Kenyenya town.
“This man we are mourning today was a man who defied mediocrity to soar to greater heights of his career,” he said.
The late Makanga died at Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital after a short illness.
He leaves behind a widow, who is a medic, and grown up children.
