Eldas MP Adan Keynan has embarked on a tour of his constituency to advocate for girl child education.
The MP met community leaders, educators, and residents to sensitise them on the importance of equal access to education.
Keynan visited several schools in Eldas South sub-county to highlight the importance of providing quality education to girls and ensuring they access opportunities like boys.
The MP said girls face challenges in accessing education, such as cultural barriers and economic constraints and called for concerted efforts to eradicate the same and create an inclusive educational environment.
“I will work closely with leaders at all levels to streamline development goals through collaborative initiatives of strengthening and actualising transformative ambitions that upscale capacity and unlock the community's potential for long-term gains and enduring prosperity,” said Keynaan.
