The County Government has rolled out a complete Senior School scholarship programme targeting deserving orphaned learners as part of its efforts to expand access to education and improve the socio-economic well-being of residents.

“Murang’a County implements various programmes to improve the socio-economic well-being of its residents. Given budgetary constraints, the County continues to strengthen partnerships with stakeholders and build linkages with the private sector to enhance service delivery.
