COUNTY government of Siaya seeks to partner with Methodist Church of Kenya (MCK) to improve existing projects in Ugunja.

Some of these projects are in water and health center and also improvement of Nyasanda Technical Institute.

Governor James Orengo said the projects that were initiated by MCK in Ugunje are functioning hence should be supported for the benefit of Siaya people.

Orengo who hosted MCK delegation led by Western Kenya Synod Bishop Rev. Leina Ole Mootian said the County will do a proper assessment of the projects before signing any Memorandum of Understanding.

“The church has been supplementing the government through the many projects it has initiated,” said Orengo adding that county technical teams will be sent from the departments concerned to ascertain the situation and do a report to that effect.

The church has established Methodist Health Center, sunk a water borehole at KES 1.8 million and Nyasanda Technical Institute.

Rev. Mootian, announced that KEMU-Technical and Vocational Technical Institute seeks to mentor Nyasanda Technical Institute students for long-term benefit to Siaya residents.

The institute will be offering certificate and diploma technical courses.

The Clergy said the aim of reviving Nyasanda was to allow students acquire technical skills locally.

“Once the technical experts have ascertained the technical institute and done a report on its gaps then presented it to management of KEMU, we will invite the office of the governor to witness the handing over,” said Mootian.

He added, “Once it’s up and running, we shall encourage youths including those who did KCSE to enroll for technical programs at the institution,”

The clergy advised interested students to enroll for technical skills.
