KISUMU POLYTECHNIC
(GREEN AND PREEN, PREEN AND GREEN)

1. Kisumu Polytechnic – Green and Preen, Preen and Green
Is an environmental success as can be seen;
The care is the aesthetics and fresh air;
The trees, the breeze that increase
That fosters good health and welfare
For a learning atmosphere that’s fair ……………….

2. Here, industry succeeds as learning thrives
As transparency and accountability offer drive
With team work and participatory synergy
Motivating innovation, creativity and reactivity
According utility to Applied Science and Technology
To create industrial products and jobs ………………

3. A proud institution, preen and green
Now controls insect pests and mosquito menace
Through technology to extract herbal oils
Using “Nyabendi”, lemon grass and eucalyptus products of the soil
And to purify water using Maringa seeds
Thanks to quality, technical, vocational training ……………

4. When welfare is fare and all for care
Best catering, Medicare and accommodation
Offer relaxed learning environment:
Premium facility, library, laboratory and workshops
Eliminating idleness and assuring good health
Because of all inclusiveness of the portfolio

5. Who responds to challenges of society
Except he best who can stand the best
Now and here, except the industrious principal
Bwana Francis Imbo Awuor wuod Nyakach Got Bolo,
Complimented by his deputy Madam Joyce Nyanjom,
The Registrar Bwana Ochieng’ Ojwang’ and
The Dean of Students Bwana Omondi Peter,
Who created the green and preen now seen ……

6. In under 12 years, an impressive infrastructure stands;
ICT building, ladies and gents’ hostels and administrative block;
All stood over by Woud Helena, who acknowledges
The sterling roles of other players and Stakeholders like:

(i) All diligent institutional supportive staff.
(ii) The Board Chairman – Bwana Cyprian Awiti Jamawego
(iii) The Director of Technical Education – Bwana Wambai
(iv) The Permanent Secretary (MOHE) – Professor Kiamba
(v) The P.T.E.O (Nyanza) – Bwana Jackton Andai

7. Indeed, Kisumu Polytechnic, so Green and Preen
Would not have achieved this stupendous sheen
Without Illustrious Bwana Cyprian Awiti Jamawego
And other key practical performers, including
Bwana Fred Jona Ochanda, the Financial Manager,
Daktari Solomon Odero Jowi, the Clinical Officer,
The ever smiling Emily Akech Oloo Nyar Alego Nyadhi, the Secretary
Nyadhi, the heart beat away from Obama’s home, Kogelo.

8. Who knows how a College initiated in 1997,
Could now be so robust, buoyant, green and preen
As can now be, by so many seen and admired,
If it were not for versatile Wuod Nyakach got Bolo!
Managing a population of 4,000 students
Kisumu Polytechnic Green and Preen
Kisumu Polytechnic Preen and Green.
