It is a pleasure to join you for this luncheon. I sincerely thank the National Chairperson Mrs Kirinya and the Agricultural Society of Kenya for this thoughtful gesture and for the warm hospitality we have received throughout this year's Show.
On behalf of the Egerton University fraternity, I welcome you to the 4K Club Open Day. We are delighted to showcase practical agricultural learning and community engagement initiatives today.
As a university founded on a strong agricultural heritage, Egerton remains committed to nurturing practical skills. Through our partnership with schools, government agencies and other stakeholders, we have been supporting the revitalization of 4K Clubs in Njoro and beyond. We are empowering learners with knowledge in sustainable agriculture, environmental conservation and responsible farming practices
Honourable Principal Secretary for the State Department for Parliamentary Affairs Dr Aurelia Rono representing the Prime Cabinet Secretary, distinguished guests, representatives from national and county governments, our partners from the private sector including KCB Bank and Equity Bank, staff and students, ladies and gentlemen.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Distinguished Guests,
Graduands,
It is a great honour to join you today for the 2nd Graduation Ceremony of the Dryland Research Training and Ecotourism Centre (DRTEC) Chemeron, a key campus of Egerton University.
At the national level, education remains central to the Government’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda. Under this framework, we are prioritising climate resilience and sustainable development. These are not abstract goals, they are immediate necessities, particularly for communities in arid and semi-arid regions such as Baringo County.
