Residents of the Mt. Elgon area in Bungoma County have urged the national government to fast-track the completion of the Kapsokwony Medical Training College, a project that has stalled for more than seven years. They are appealing to the government through the office of their area Member of Parliament, Fred Kapondi, to intervene and ensure construction resumes immediately.According to the residents, the project was launched in 2018 with great promise and millions of shillings allocated for its development. However, progress has remained painfully slow, with only one building reportedly completed since its groundbreaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the residents, Robert Maruti, expressed frustration over the prolonged delay, saying the community had placed high hopes on the institution. He noted that many families expected the college to create education and employment opportunities for local youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
