Principal Secretary for the State Department for Science, Research and Innovation, Prof. Abdulrazak Shaukat, has challenged the Wamiji community to establish an education fund aimed at supporting learners and improving educational outcomes among young people.

Addressing members of the community during an Eid Baraza in Mombasa, Prof. Shaukat described education as the most powerful tool for transforming lives and uplifting communities.

"There is a need for the community to establish an education fund to promote education among our people. Investing in education is investing in our future," he said.

The PS noted that education would enable more young people to access opportunities and effectively compete in the modern economy.

He also urged residents to register for the Social Health Authority (SHA).

"Make sure you register for SHA because it works. My uncle is currently undergoing treatment and SHA has already paid over Sh200,000 for his medical care," he said

Additionally, he encouraged voter registration and participation in government programmes designed for marginalized communities.

Prof. Shaukat further lauded President William Ruto for championing inclusivity and ensuring no community is left behind in national development.
