Belgut Technical Training Institute which deals in among other things deals in training tailoring students will start producing 10,000 masks in the fight against covid-19.
The masks will be distributed to the residents within the Belgut constituency to mitigate effects of Covid 19.
Belgut MP, Nelson Koech said the initiative targeting mass production of masks is between himself and Belgut TTI.
Main beneficiaries of the initiative include tea farmers and workers as well as bodaboda operators.
Koech said the TTI recalled 20 of its students to do the work which meets the standards of KEBS, adding that they will produce surgical masks in the next one week.
The MP also said they will also look for industrial chemistry students for the production of sanitizers and soaps in the institution.
Ziporah Kutto, Principal Belgut TTI, said as an institution they observed that they can offer help in a small way in curbing the virus.
She said they produce at least 300 masks per day and lauded the MP for the move to assist his constituents.
