It was a day of jubilation for parents and students in Kipipiri constituency as their Member of Parliament, Wanjiku Muhia, announced a new program that would waive day school fees to only Sh2,000 per term.
The announcement was made during the launch of the program at Wanjohi Mixed secondary school, and it was met with thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.
In her speech, MP Wanjiku Muhia stated that the program was part of an elaborate plan to revamp infrastructure in all-day schools across the constituency. She also noted that the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) would issue a total of 48 million cheques to all schools to support the initiative.
“Education is a fundamental right, and no child should be denied the opportunity to access quality education because of financial constraints. Our aim is to ensure that all students in Kipipiri constituency have access to quality education, regardless of their socio-economic background,” MP Wanjiku Muhia said.
The event was graced by a host of MPs, including Ndindi Nyoro (Kiharu), Karungo Thangw’a (Senator Kiambu), and Ann Wamuratha (Kiambu).
The MPs praised MP Wanjiku Muhia for her visionary leadership and commitment to improving the lives of her constituents.
The program was a game-changer for many parents who had been struggling to pay for their children’s education. One parent, Mary Wanjiru, expressed her gratitude, saying, “This is a big relief for us. I have three children in day school, and the fees were a big burden for me. I am grateful to MP Wanjiku Muhia for this initiative.”
The program is expected to benefit thousands of students in day schools across the constituency and will go a long way in ensuring that no child is left behind in the pursuit of education.
