The Eldoret Technical Training Institute community continues to mourn the loss of Brad Mukopi, a bright and promising media student who was laid to rest on February 14 at his rural home in an emotional ceremony attended by family, friends, classmates, and members of the institution.

Brad’s passing has left a deep void within the campus, where he was widely admired for his creativity, humility, and strong sense of purpose. As a media student, he stood out for his passion for storytelling and his determination to use communication as a tool for positive change.
