- MP Stephen Mule has donated Sh5 million worth of textbooks to primary and secondary schools in Matungulu Constituency to aid exam revision.
- The number of secondary schools in the constituency has doubled since Mule took office, with more day schools planned for construction.
- Dr Mule has urged KNEC to ensure the smooth and credible running of the 2026 national examinations, involving all stakeholders to prevent cheating.
Primary and secondary schools in Matungulu Constituency yesterday received textbooks to aid candidates in revising ahead of their final KPSEA and KCSE exams.
The students received encyclopedia textbooks for revision worth Sh5 million from their area Member of Parliament, Stephen Mule, during a ceremony held at Tala High School grounds in Matungulu Constituency.
Speaking at the function, which also coincided with World Teachers’ Day celebrations, Mr Mule said he wanted to make Matungulu a model constituency for educational standards. He noted that before he became MP, the constituency had only a few secondary schools, but that number has since doubled, with more day secondary schools planned for construction.
Mr Mule, who is also a doctor, said the increase in schools means more job opportunities for teachers and other staff. “With the increase in population, we cannot rely only on schools that were built at independence. I am happy to note that the number of secondary schools in my constituency has doubled,” said Dr Mule.

The MP emphasised that education is the best gift a parent can give to their children, adding that no effort should be spared in improving the standards of education in Matungulu Constituency.
Dr Mule also called on the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) to ensure that this year’s national examinations run smoothly, warning that irregularities negatively affect the country’s education system and must be avoided. “I call upon KNEC to take all necessary steps to ensure the smooth running and credibility of the 2026 national examinations. They should involve all stakeholders, including candidates, parents, the public and the media, to prevent cases of cheating during the exam period,” Dr Mule said.
He also wished the candidates the best of luck, saying he is praying for God’s blessings to be upon them throughout the examination period.
