Nyamira: Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos Ogamba has commissioned a multipurpose hall at St. Peter’s Nyaisa Secondary School and laid a foundation stone for the construction of an administration block at Kebirigo Primary School, both in West Mugirango Constituency, Nyamira County.

According to Kenya News Agency, the CS confirmed that the allocation and prudent management of resources from the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) had made the two projects possible. Ogamba expressed his appreciation for the cooperation between school heads, Boards of Management (BoMs), and contractors, emphasizing the importance of resource management in uplifting education standards.

Ogamba stated that the government is continuously working to improve education standards with the goal of producing internationally competitive graduates. This includes allocating more funds to hire additional teachers and ensuring equal access to education for all learners across the country. He also acknowledged the support from NG-CDF and the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) in enhancing school infrastructure and providing essential amenities.

NG-CDF Chief Executive Officer Yusuf Mbuno, who accompanied the CS, highlighted the fund’s role in alleviating the financial burden on parents by supporting school infrastructure development. He urged residents to participate in upcoming public forums to determine the future of the NG-CDF following a court ruling that deemed it unconstitutional.

NG-CDF Principal Monitoring and Evaluation Officer Caroline Mule praised West Mugirango MP Stephen Mogaka for his effective fund management. She committed to overseeing the timely completion of the Kebirigo Primary School administration block within four months.

MP Mogaka expressed gratitude to CS Ogamba for officiating the launch, recognizing his dedication to enhancing education in the constituency. He emphasized the importance of providing equal access to quality education for children in remote areas.

The event was attended by Nyamira Woman Representative Jerusha Momanyi, Kitutu Chache North MP Japhet Nyakundi, local MCAs, NG-CDF board members, and education officials from Nyamira and Kisii Counties.
