![<\/a>Deputy President Kithure Kindiki addresses graduates at Moi Sports centre, Kasarani during the 94th KMTC graduation ceremony on December 4, 2025, where he announced plans to open HELB funding to KMTC students.<\/p>\n\u201cI have been informed by the Principal Secretary that KMTC students are not accessing HELB funding. I am convinced by the request. I will engage the relevant Cabinet Secretaries and state departments to agree on a formula because not every parent can afford to pay for their children at KMTC. We are already supporting university and TVET students,\u201d he said, drawing applause from graduates and parents.<\/p>\nThe DP noted that many trainees face significant financial pressure and said extending HELB support would prevent qualified students from missing out on training due to lack of fees.<\/p>\nKindiki also highlighted health sector reforms undertaken by the Ruto administration over the past three years, saying the government has prioritised universal access to quality healthcare.<\/p>\n\u201cHealthcare is the foundation of human dignity, the heartbeat of every nation. Over the past three years, Kenya has undertaken the most ambitious transformation of its health system,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/a>KMTC Graduates at Moi Sports centre, Kasarani during the 94th KMTC graduation ceremony on December 4, 2025.<\/p>\nA total of 22,776 graduands received certificates and diplomas during the ceremony.<\/p>\nKindiki said the government has cushioned Kenyans from catastrophic medical expenses through mass registration under the Social Health Authority (SHA).
