CS Ogamba commissions 750-bed capacity dormitory at Nyakach girls

Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba has officially commissioned a new 750-bed capacity dormitory at Nyakach girls high School in Kisumu county.

 Speaking during the function, Ogamba stated that the development marks a significant milestone in government’s effort to expand boarding facilities and create a safer, more conducive learning environment for learners.

The CS was on an official tour of Kisumu and Nyamira counties, where he also launched several infrastructure development projects in various schools.

He emphasized that the dormitory comes at a crucial time, as the country prepares for the transition of the first cohort of learners from Junior School to Senior School under the Competency-Based Education (CBE) next year.

“We are excited that this dormitory has been completed when we are preparing to admit the first cohort of students under the Competency Based Education to Senior School next year.

This dormitory is a massive achievement in the context of the 100 percent transition policy to Senior School,” Ogamba stated.

Education Cabinet Secretary Jullius Migos Ogamba joins Nyakach Girls’ Dancers in a jig during the schools’ visit on Friday May 2, 2025.

The CS noted that the government is determined to fully address the concerns about transition from Junior School to Senior School.

He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening education systems and infrastructure, adding that the Ministry is focused on enhancing the quality of teaching and learning under the CBE framework.

“To ensure quality education, the government has recruited 76,000 teachers over the past two years, as announced by President Dr. William Ruto during the Labor Day celebrations,” he said.

Ogamba announced that Sh2.4 billion has been allocated to recruit an additional 20,000 intern teachers starting January 2026, a move aimed at improving learning outcomes nationwide.

Additionally, Sh2.6 billion will be used to support teacher promotions and provide capacity-building programs to align teaching methods with the CBE curriculum.

The CS also assured school heads that the government would disburse Sh21 billion in capitation funds by next week to all public schools to facilitate smooth operations for the second term.

  • Strip off the dry leaves from the stem.
  • Do not burn the cane as this lowers its quality.
  • Transport the cane to the factory immediately for processing.

(c). Describe four ways in which soil depth influences crop production.    (8 marks)

  • Soil moisture content: a deep soil holds more moisture than a shallow soil.
  • Root penetration and plant support: a deep soil provides better root anchorage and free root penetration to lower zones.
  • Soil erosion: a deep soil encourages water infiltration other than surface run-offs, thus minimizing soil erosion.
  • Soil aeration: a deep soil is well-aerated compared to a shallow soil.
  • Mineral nutrient content: a deep soil allows more accumulation and exchange of minerals. This allows better growth of vegetation compared to a shallow soil that has less mineral nutrient.
  • Microbial activity: a deep top soil and sub-soil favours activity of micro-organisms such as decomposers and nitrogen fixers.

  1. b) Eight factors that affect milk composition in dairy farming.             (8 marks)
  • Age of the animal – Butter fat in milk becomes less as an animal grows old thus young animals produce milk with higher BF than older animals.
  • Breed – Different breeds of cattle produce milk with differing percentages composition e.g. Jersey produces higher BF than Friesian.
  • Type of food eaten by an animal – Roughage feeds produce milk with higher fats, lactose and protein compared to grains.
  • Disease – Diseases such as mastitis reduce lactose composition in milk because bacteria attack milk sugars.
  • Physiological condition – of the animal.
  • Sick / extremely emaciated animals register low percentage of BF.
  • During late pregnancy cows produce milk with low BF content.
  • Stage of lactation – The butter content in milk is highest at the middle phase of the lactation period and lowers towards the end of lactation.
  • Time of milking – Milk produced in the morning has lower BF content than produced in the evening.
  • Season of the year – BF content increases during cold season.
  • Completeness of milking – The last drawn milk from the udder contains 10% total BF content.
  • Thus milk drawn last from the udder has higher BF content.

NHIF- Retired Civil Servants To Enjoy Post Retirement Medical Insurance Scheme

The National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) will from next financial year roll out a pre-retirement medical scheme for retiring civil servants.

A team of officers from the government led by Humphrey Sakala from NHIF told civil servants in Iten that plans are at an advanced stage to roll out the scheme saying treasury had already provided Shs.1 billion for the scheme.

The officers were told that a Cabinet memo had already been prepared and was only awaiting approval saying the scheme will go a long way in catering for the health needs of civil servants once they retire.

They were however told that contributions to the scheme was not yet determined but will depend on the years a civil servant has left before exiting the service.

The civil servants had raised concerns over the lack of a comprehensive health insurance scheme for retired civil servants forcing them to rely on the Sh. 6000 per year which is not comprehensive.

In a bid to address the problem of lack of drugs in most public health facilities, Daisy Chepkoech said plans are under way to have accredited pharmacists where civil servants can get drugs and NHIF pays for the same saying for now they are allowed to get drugs from another facility and bill NHIF.

She added that the Public Service Commission has a fund known as excess of loss fund to cater for officers who have exhausted their annual NHIF limits due to the nature of their illness saying one only needs to formally write to the PSC through their human resource department giving details of the illness to access the exgratia fund.

Ms. Chepkoech, who is a medic, called on officers and their spouses to go for annual health checkups even when they are not sick which will be paid for by NHIF so that in case of an ailment it can be treated early saying most go to hospital when diseases which could be treated have reached chronic stage.

She also advised the officers to avoid seeking treatment in high end private hospitals which charge expensively unless there is no alternative saying this will ensure that they don’t exhaust their annual limits.
