Deputy Chief of Staff Eliud Owalo has expressed his happiness and satisfaction with the ongoing education infrastructural progress in Nyamira County.
He said that the government has spent Ksh 1.4 billion through the state Department of Basic Education to establish new educational facilities in the region so far and asked the residents to appreciate the gesture by supporting the current government.
He said the funds were directed to the construction of dormitories, dining halls, classrooms, and administration blocks at various Secondary and primary schools in the area.
Owalo revealed this last week when he visited Nyamira County for a one-day visit, accompanied by officials from the Kenya Highways and Roads Board and the Ministry of Education, Trade, and Industry.

The PS, with his entourage, toured the Nyamira County roads construction sector and inspected the 12.4-kilometre Gesima—Mosobeti—Metamaywa bitumen standard road, for which shillings 574 million were allocated for construction.
His delegation, which was hosted by Nyamira County Commissioner Elastus Mbui, Nyamira County Chief of Staff Jack Magara, and other officials, inspected Nyansiongo Modern Market. The market has reached 98% completion and is valued at KSh 95 million from the National Government.
