Kenya: Former President Daniel arap Moi has urged Government to beef up security to create conducive learning environment for school going children.

He said there was need for improvement of the deteriorating security before it goes out of hand. He accused political leaders of talking too much without addressing serious issues that required immediate attention.

“The Government needs to beef up security so that our children may go to school without fear and for Kenyans to also feel safer,” he said

The former president spoke at Sunshine Secondary School during the thanksgiving service and grand opening of the Resource Centre at the school’s ground.

Rising demand

Moi said the demand for secondary schools for boys in Nairobi was still very high and called upon county government to take the matter seriously in their plan to improve education.

“I have noted that very few authorities give the matter of education for the future generations the seriousness it deserves. This is why am calling upon the county of Nairobi to take this issue seriously,” he added.

He further noted that the County government needed to build more schools to meet the rising demand for education.

The former Head of State called upon the youth to desist from indulging in underage drinking and consumption of drugs.

He further urged the country to remain united, as it was the only way they could tackle issues that were currently facing them

Kiptum noted that the Resource Centre was fitted with ultra modern learning facilities that would usher  the use of IT in teaching.

“The Resource Centre comes with modern learning facilities that will enable our students have access to E-learning tools and we hope this will help boost their performance,” said Kiptum.

Kiptum also noted that the school was also planning to build a Chapel for the students as part  of  its  future development for the School.
