Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro has launched an education programme dubbed ‘Kiharu Masomo Bora’ that will pay Ksh 4,000 per term for each student learning in public day secondary schools.
14,000 students in 60 day schools spread across the constituency are targeted through this initiative which is fully funded by the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF).
The initiative which was officially launched on Tuesday at Mogoiri Mixed Secondary School is worth Ksh 70 million where Ksh 60 million has been set aside to upgrade infrastructure in the schools and feed learners while Ksh 10 million will be used to buy revision books.
During the launch, Kimilili MP Dismus Barasa congratulated President Ruto for allowing disbursement of the NG-CDF kitty which was earlier declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
“Those who have been fighting NG-CDF should come here and see how it has transformed lives,” he said.
