Kiragu noted that some institutions’ toilets had been filled with rainwater and risk spreading waterborne diseases like bilharzia if left unattended.
He was accompanied by his CDF team, engineers and administrators.
He revealed that his CDF was a leading team in assessing the schools to come up with a strategy to improve them.
“As we wait for the rains to stop and the schools to reopen, we want to ensure the environment our children find will be conducive for learning. We expect to move with speed to establish the most affected school. We do not want to see our children getting water or airborne diseases,” he noted.
The MP thanked the move by President William Ruto of setting aside money to assist in rehabilitating affected schools across the country.
