Residents of Matungu constituency in Kakamega county are expressing frustration and disappointment over the dire state of schools in the area, despite the allocation of Constituency Development Fund (CDF) meant for their improvement. The situation has sparked outrage among locals, particularly concerning the condition of mud-walled classrooms which continue to persist despite efforts to upgrade educational facilities.
Concerns were raised particularly about Musango Primary School, where dilapidated mud-walled classrooms force students to sit on the floor or on stones due to the lack of desks. Similarly, Ikulu Primary School is facing critical infrastructure challenges, with inadequate classrooms that are in a state of disrepair, posing safety hazards to students as the structures are at risk of collapsing.
Residents are directing their frustration towards the Member of Parliament for Matungu, Peter Nabulindo, demanding accountability for the utilization of CDF funds allocated to the constituency. Questions are being raised regarding the MP’s priorities and actions concerning the development of educational infrastructure in the area.
The community is calling for urgent action and transparency from their elected representative to address the pressing needs of schools in Matungu constituency. The mismanagement of CDF funds intended for school improvements underscores the urgency for effective governance and responsible stewardship of public resources to ensure the well-being and future prospects of the constituency’s students.
