On November 22, 2019, President Uhuru Kenyatta made a generous donation of Sh100 million to build a new library in honour of world marathon record holder Eliud Kipchoge.
Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha delivered the cheque in Kipchoge's home village of Kapsisiywa in Nandi County on Friday.
According to CS Magoha, President Kenyatta would personally visit the school and have it commissioned within the next six months.
"President Kenyatta has today given out Sh100 million to build a new library in honour of what Kipchoge did for Kenya," the CS said.
Eliud Kipchoge made history as the first man to run a marathon in under two hours when he clocked 1:59:40 at the 'Ineos 1:59 Challenge' on October 12 in Vienna, Austria.
