    Kisumu County Senator (Prof.) Tom Odhiambo Ojienda SC, has requested the Government to hasten the process of elevating Kisumu National Polytechnic to a Technical University.

    Through a statement directed to the Standing Committee on Education, Sen. Ojienda sought information regarding the potential elevation of Kisumu National Polytechnic to a Technical University. He emphasised the institution’s critical role in equipping the youth with technical and vocational skills, significantly contributing to both regional and national development.

    He noted that transforming the institution into a Technical University would not only expand access to higher education but also foster research, innovation and industrial linkages vital for national progress.

    “The move would align with the government’s agenda to strengthen Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions and address the skills gap in the job market,” stated Sen. Ojienda.

    The lawmaker requested the Committee to clarify the criteria and requirements for such an elevation and to confirm whether Kisumu National Polytechnic meets the standards. He also sought information on plans by the State Department for Technical and Vocational Education and Training to facilitate the elevation, including a timeline for the process.

    Additionally, he inquired about any budgetary allocations set aside for the institution’s elevation and expansion, the expected impact on technical education and employment opportunities for youth in the region and whether public participation and stakeholder engagement had been conducted in accordance with Article 232(1)(d) of the Constitution.
