Adurkoit Girls Secondary School in Kapenguria, West Pokot County, registered low enrollment and was subsequently closed because of low student population.
Kapenguria Member of Parliament Moroto Samuel has promised to restore the glamour of the institution after constructing four classrooms all sponsored by the Kapenguria Constituency Development Fund.
He has further pledged to give additional KSh10 million which would give a meaningful facelift to the school and attract learners from far and wide.
