President Uhuru Kenyatta has assured the Starehe Boys’ Centre of continued support from the Government. The President, accompanied by First Lady Margaret Kenyatta, made the pledge yesterday when he presided over the 56th anniversary celebrations of the Starehe Boys’ Centre and School’s Founders’ Day. Former President Mwai Kibaki, who has been the patron of the institution for the last 46 years, attended. President Kenyatta said Starehe has distinguished itself in the service it has offered to the country during the 56 years it has existed.
“We will see how to increase the support we give to this institution,” said the President. He urged the school management to ask for support from him and Nairobi Governor Dr Evans Kidero when faced with challenges. He thanked the retired president for being steadfast in his support for Starehe. Kibaki commended President Kenyatta for the progress the country has achieved.
