"I also took the opportunity to reiterate the Kenya Kwanza government's commitment to engaging stakeholders in the education sector and exploring more avenues that will foster an environment that addresses issues bedeviling teachers of our great country.," she said.

Okenyuri later attended the burial of Mzee Philip Kamau Omoke, who she said was a friendly, humble, and committed member of the community.

"This evening, I condoled with the family of the late Mzee Philip Kamau Omoke of Kiong’endo village, Bokimonge Ward, Bomachoge Borabu constituency. We pray for strength and comfort for the family and friends of the bereaved during this difficult time. May Mzee’s soul rest in eternal peace," she added.
