Students at the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Kiambaa Campus are set to get improved accommodation and expanded learning facilities under a new government investment plan.
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki said the government will spend Sh290 million to construct a hostel at the campus in Karuri, Kiambu County.
Kindiki announced the plan while inspecting ongoing construction works at the institution, saying the investment would improve students’ welfare while expanding access to professional training.
“We are heavily investing in the construction and expansion of this KMTC. The national Government will continue supporting the expansion of learning institutions across the country,” he said.

The Deputy President said the hostel would help address accommodation needs at the campus and provide students with better facilities during their training.
He also announced that the government will undertake the second phase of the tuition block to increase the campus’s capacity and create more space for learning and training.
“We are doing enough to ensure that the region has enough development,” Kindiki said.
He said continued investment in education infrastructure was necessary to increase access to professional training and equip young people with skills required in the job market.
Kindiki said the Government was also focused on improving students’ welfare through better accommodation, classrooms and other facilities in institutions of higher learning.
The Sh290 million hostel, together with the planned expansion of the tuition block, is expected to strengthen the campus and enable it to accommodate more students.
Kindiki said the Government would continue identifying areas requiring additional investment in education and training, noting that improved infrastructure was essential as institutions handle growing student numbers.
He said expanding KMTC facilities would also help strengthen Kenya’s health workforce by creating more opportunities for students pursuing medical and related courses.
Kiambaa MP Njuguna Kawanjiku welcomed the Government’s investment in the institution, saying the projects would benefit students and the wider community.
“We are happy for the Government development at our KMTC,” Kawanjiku said.
The MP also urged residents to support the Government, citing development projects being implemented in the constituency and the wider region.
Kawanjiku said continued investment in education and other sectors would create more opportunities for residents while improving public infrastructure in Kiambaa.
He said the construction of the hostel and expansion of tuition facilities would strengthen the campus’s contribution to skills development in the constituency.
