Ksh24 Million Tuition Block Opens New Chapter for KMTC Mbooni Campus
KMTC Mbooni Campus has received a major infrastructure boost following the commissioning of a three-storey tuition block valued at Ksh24 million and a borehole project to address persistent water shortages. These investments will expand training opportunities and create more conducive learning conditions for students by ensuring adequate teaching space and reliable access to water.
The projects were officially commissioned on June 15, 2026, by Mbooni Member of Parliament Hon. Erastus Kivasu Nzioka, who reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the growth and transformation of the Campus.
The commissioning marked a significant milestone in the Campus' development journey, reflecting years of collaboration between KMTC, the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), local leaders, stakeholders, and the community.
Speaking during the event, Hon. Kivasu noted that the tuition block was constructed through NG-CDF support. He lauded the strong partnerships that have contributed to the rapid growth of the institution.
"From a population of just 46 students in 2019, the Campus has grown to more than 600 students enrolled in eight academic programmes. This is a clear demonstration of what can be achieved when leaders, institutions, and communities work together," he said.
The legislator pledged continued support for the Campus, including the development of a computer laboratory, a skills laboratory, and engagement with the Government on the possibility of constructing student hostels under the Affordable Housing Programme.
A key highlight of the day was the launch of an emergency response training programme for boda boda riders. The initiative seeks to equip riders with basic lifesaving skills, recognizing their critical role as first responders during road traffic accidents.
Representing the CEO, Dr. Kelly Oluoch, Resource Mobilisation Manager Mr. Job Nyakado described the new tuition block as a strategic investment that will support the expansion of academic programmes and increase access to health training.
"This investment opens a new chapter for KMTC Mbooni Campus. The additional learning space creates opportunities for the College to introduce more programmes that respond to the evolving healthcare needs of our country while increasing access to training for young people," he said.
Nursing Council of Kenya Director of Ethics and Standards Ms. Betina Muthami emphasised the need to maintain quality as the College grows.
"Expansion in infrastructure and enrollment must be matched with quality training, competent faculty, and adequate learning resources to ensure we continue producing safe, ethical, and competent health professionals," she noted.
KMTC Mbooni Principal Ms. Felistus Kimanzi, speaking on behalf of the campus fraternity, conveyed her gratitude to the MP and his team for their support. “It really does take a village and Hon. Kivasu and his team have been that for us,” the principal said adding, “Your support has taken this Campus to the heights it has achieved, becoming a beacon of training for better health in the county and beyond.”
Following the commissioning ceremony, Hon. Kivasu held a consultative meeting with the Campus administration, student leaders, community representatives, stakeholders, and development partners to discuss strategies for sustaining the Campus' growth and maximising its impact on the community.
The event was attended by the NG-CDF Chairperson Mr. Paul Mbodo, Regional Forest Conservator Ms. Joyce Nthuku, among others.
