The Deputy Governor, Honourable John Mwaniki, also thanked the Government and People of Japan for the generosity in providing assistance in not only Laikipia but also in other counties in Kenya. While giving her remarks, Ms. Yui Takashima, Second Secretary of Japan thanked all the schools for collaborating with AET to receive the grant, and congratulated AET for bringing to a successful completion the project. To the pupils, she remarked that she was glad to see their beaming faces, proof that they were happy with the new facilities. She advised them to work extra hard in their studies in order to improve their lives. She hoped that these schools would become the best performing in their communities. In closing her remarks, she wished everyone good health and great happiness.
