Themed 'Supporting Talents,' the festival aimed to select teams to represent the county at the national stage in Eldoret.
According to the County Executive Committee Member of Education (CECM) Veronica Maina, who represented Governor Anne Waiguru, the event was aimed at not only creating holistic learners in and out of the classroom environment but also providing an avenue for the participants to nurture their talents.
“Through this initiative, our governor aims at identifying, supporting, and elevating the untapped potential in our students,” she stated.
This year’s festivals attracted over 2,000 students hailing from the 16 Polytechnics nestled within Kirinyaga County.
