Rais Ruto anatoa mamlaka ya chuo cha Bomet kuwapanua wanafunzi

Rais William Ruto ametoa mamlaka rasmi ya Chuo cha Bomet, kikifanya kuwa chuo cha umma cha 36 chenye mamlaka nchini Kenya. Hatua hii inaonyesha kujitolea kwa serikali kuleta elimu ya juu karibu na watu na kuwapa wanafunzi chaguo zaidi. Matangazo yalifanywa katika hafla rasmi katika Ikulu ya Rais siku ya Jumatano, Februari 4, 2026.

Chuo cha Bomet kimepata hadhi ya chuo chenye mamlaka baada ya kukidhi mahitaji yote ya taifa ya uthibitisho. Rais Ruto alithibitisha ongezeko hili, akisema ni sehemu ya kujitolea kwa serikali kuleta elimu ya juu karibu na watu na kuwapanua chaguo kwa wanafunzi. Wakati wa hafla rasmi katika Ikulu ya Rais, Rais alisema kuwa idadi ya wanafunzi wa vyuo vikuu nchini imekua kwa asilimia 12, kutokana na hatua za sera zinazolenga kuwapanua ufikiaji wa elimu ya juu.

“Mamlaka ya chuo cha Bomet, ikifanya kuwa chuo cha umma cha 36 chenye mamlaka nchini Kenya, inathibitisha kujitolea kwetu kuleta elimu ya juu karibu na watu. Inapanua chaguo, inapunguza vizuizi vya ufikiaji, na inahakikisha kuwa fursa haizuiliwi na eneo,” alisema Rais Ruto.

Rais aliongeza kuwa serikali ina mpango wa kuanzisha kikamilifu Mfuko wa Taifa wa Utafiti kwa kuongeza mgao wake kutoka asilimia 0.8 hadi 2 ya Pato la Taifa, hatua inayotarajiwa kuunda mfuko wa KSh1 trilioni wa utafiti na uvumbuzi katika miaka 10 ijayo. “Hii si tu kuhusu maabara na machapisho; pia ni kuhusu kufadhili biashara zinazoanza, kufanya biashara ya uvumbuzi, na kujenga vizazi vya wanasayansi, wahandisi, na wabunifu ambao wataendesha mabadiliko ya kiuchumi ya nchi katika hatua ijayo,” aliongeza.

Kulingana na Rais, mageuzi ya elimu yanategemea haki, uwajibikaji na mafanikio ya wanafunzi. Hadhi mpya ya Chuo cha Bomet inatokana na nidhamu ya miaka mingi ya taasisi, na chuo mara nyingi kinasifiwa kwa kujitolea kwake ubora. “Kama Chuo cha Bomet kinapoanza sura hii mpya, nina changamoto kwa uongozi wake kufafanua utambulisho mkubwa wa kitaaluma ulio na msingi wa ubora, umuhimu, na uvumbuzi,” alisema Ruto.

Sasa, Chuo cha Bomet kinaweza kutoa programu za shahada na kutoa sifa za kitaaluma zenyewe. Moja ya faida kubwa ni msaada wa moja kwa moja kutoka serikali, kwani vyuo vya umma vilivyo na mamlaka vinaweza kupokea ufadhili wa serikali, ruzuku na aina zingine za msaada. Hata hivyo, hadhi hii inakuja na wajibu wa usimamizi ili kuhakikisha elimu bora, usimamizi wa kimaadili na kufuata kanuni za elimu ya juu ya taifa.
