Incoming Lugari Member of Parliament Philip Etale has made good on his promise to learners at Munyuki Comprehensive School, presenting the institution with three footballs in a gesture that has delighted both students and staff.
Etale, who also serves as the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) communication strategist, made the donation as part of his commitment to nurturing talent and supporting youth development in his constituency.
Munyuki Comprehensive School is widely recognised as a football powerhouse in Kakamega County, producing learners who are as passionate about the sport as they are dedicated to their academic pursuits. The donation was therefore met with great enthusiasm, with the school community celebrating the gesture in high spirits.
“These kids have a passion for sports just like they love education,” Etale remarked, underscoring the importance of balancing academic excellence with extracurricular development.
The event was filled with excitement and joy as learners received the footballs, with the atmosphere reflecting the school’s deep-rooted love for the beautiful game.
Etale’s gesture signals his intention to remain actively engaged with his constituents and to champion the holistic development of young people in Lugari. Sports lovers and education advocates alike have praised the move, viewing it as a step in the right direction for a constituency that prides itself on producing well-rounded young talent.
The incoming MP is expected to make further community-focused visits across Lugari in the coming weeks.
