KMTC to Review Courses After MPs Warn of Graduates Struggling to Find Jobs

The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) plans to reorganise its courses to better match labour market needs and improve graduates’ job prospects. CEO Kelly Oluoch announced the review on October 26, 2026, after the National Assembly’s Health Committee raised concerns that graduates struggle to find work. Committee chair James Nyikal and other MPs urged KMTC to prioritise courses with employment opportunities, particularly in the public sector, its main employer. Oluoch also said all learners take a mandatory entrepreneurship course; KMTC offers 126 courses across 92 campuses.

Treasury Revives Ksh 337 Billion Kibuka High Grand Falls Dam Project

Kenya’s National Treasury has revived the Kibuka (High Grand Falls) hydropower and irrigation dam project by readvertising a tender for transaction advisory services under a public-private partnership framework. The previous deal, valued at more than Ksh 337 billion, was terminated in July 2025 to protect the public interest and review its legal compliance. Located on the Tana River between Tharaka-Nithi and Kitui counties, the project is designed to generate 700 MW, irrigate about 500,000 acres and store more than 5.6 billion cubic metres of water. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for November 3, 2026, and proposals are due by 11 a.m. on November 24.

‘It’s magical’: London’s iconic Oxford Street goes vehicle-free

Oxford Street opened its first permanently pedestrianised section on Monday, between Great Portland Street and Orchard Street. Walkers including Muneera Alfadhel and Mark Arbouine welcomed the chance to use the roadway, describing the street as more enjoyable and easier to navigate. The one-kilometre shopping thoroughfare generates about 1 percent of the UK’s annual GDP, but its footfall has fallen to 57 percent of its 2006 level. City Hall estimates partial pedestrianisation could generate more than $109 million a year and support 700 additional jobs.
