The Narok County Governor Patrick Ntutu has commissioned projects worth Sh100 million built in the financial year 2023/2024 in Ilmotiok ward, Narok West constituency.
The projects include 14 Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) Classroom, two fully equipped maternity wings and two boreholes that the community had prioritized in public participation forums. Schools that have benefited are Nkurumet, Katet, Ilmotiok, Olamerikai, Kutete, Lepolos, Kilanda, Muruga, Sikirarr, Ringwa, Timbililwet, Imenuet and Oldany ECDE centers.
Governor Ntutu said the classrooms are fully equipped and conducive for learning among the ECDE children and will help cope with the fast growing population of the schools.
“The school going children can now enjoy more space for fun activities, attend classes regularly as a result of shorter distances to and from school as well as improved cognitive abilities necessitated by comfortable and conducive learning environment,” he said.
The maternities were built in Mulot dispensary and Ilmotiok dispensary, bringing close maternity services close the residents who used to travel far distances for maternity services.

“The two maternity blocks are the first public maternity wings in the ward. The residents now have an opportunity to access the much needed maternity services at affordable rates,” he said, adding that the residents will no longer have to travel to Longisa and Narok town to seek maternity services.
The water projects were opened at Ilmotiok primary school and Nkorinkorri borehole to offer clean and safe water for both domestic and industrial use.
“The borehole is a game changer in the community as far as clean water is concerned. For several years, the community has been relying on water in the nearest dam for domestic use and livestock use. Clean and easy accessible water was a dream in this area,” he said.
Governor Ntutu challenged the residents to put all their elected leaders to be accountable of all the public funds so they manage so that they can better the lives of the residents. Ntutu challenged young people to join Technical Training Institute in the area to have professional qualification on their field of interest. Courses offered include: catering, tailoring, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and plumping.
“We have a TTI here in Ilmotiok but am told the enrollment is very low. Those who will enroll will be given a county bursary of Sh15, 000 each to support their studies,” he said.
