Gutted Labs At Moi Girls Eldoret To Be Rebuilt
Efforts are underway to rebuild and equip two laboratories and a home science lab that were destroyed by fire at Moi Girls High School in Eldoret on Thursday night.
Esther Koimett, Principal Secretary (PS) of the State Department of Broadcasting and Telecommunications, assured parents, teachers, students, and the general public that the facilities would be rebuilt as soon as possible so that students could resume their practical lessons.
Koimett, who was speaking to journalists at the school, stated that officers from the Ministry of Public Works had already visited the school and were conducting an assessment to determine the extent of the damage.
“The officers will be able to give us an assessment of the damage and how much it will cost to restore the structures,” she said, adding that the labs need to be restored in the shortest time possible to allow students to continue learning.
