KEN SIMIYU TURKANA CENTRAL MP HANDS OVER ELIYE BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL TO SCHOOL PRINCIPAL


Turkana central MP John Lodepe has  handed over Eliye boys’ high school to the school principal, Ignatius Ekitela who will now be heading the secondary school which had its first form one enrollment last year. The school has a population of 50 students who are form ones and it is still being expanded to cover up to form four. Hon Lodepe was accompanied by senior education officials including Turkana county TSC director Adow Mohamed, Turkana county Kenya secondary schools association chairman Ome Ali and KNUT secretary in Turkana county Tony Nasia.
The secondary school was previously under the management of Eliye primary school but now it stands for itself after structures such as classrooms, staffrooms and dormitories were put in place. Speaking during the handing over event Turkana central MP John Lodepe urged parents to take their children to school saying education will transform the community.

Speaking also during the event Turkana county TSC director Mohamed Bardad said the government officially registered the school last year after it was inspected and verified to be a learning institution.


The secondary school was established using Turkana central constituency development funds which are also paying school fees for the students.
