Teachers and parents in Trans Mara West Sub County have commended their area Member of Parliament, Julius Sunkuli, for his efforts in enhancing school infrastructure, which has significantly improved the learning environment.
During the commissioning of new classrooms at Inkoriento Primary School, Johnson Kimurata, a school head teacher, led fellow teachers in praising the MP for his commitment towards improving the educational infrastructure.
“The quality of classrooms has drastically improved, and this has had a direct impact on student enrolment over the past two years,” Kamara remarked.
Kimurata also shared his experience at Inkoriento Primary, where the school was temporarily closed due to poor sanitation, and with the help of the Kilgoris NG-CDF office, additional toilets were constructed, allowing the school to reopen and continue serving the community.
Kimurata also stated that the construction of new classrooms has directly led to an increase in student enrolment across local schools.
Joshua Kilerai, who spoke on behalf of other parents reflecting on the past, noted that schools in Trans Mara were traditionally built using semi-permanent materials like iron sheets and mud.
However, Kilerai thanked the Kilgoris NG-CDF office, saying new classrooms were now commissioned, transforming the educational landscape in the area, and expressed his gratitude to MP Sunkuli for addressing the long-standing challenge.
“Since taking office, Sunkuli has overseen the renovation and construction of new classrooms in schools,” added Kilerai.
Joan Mutai, the Trans Mara West Sub County Education Director, confirmed that the school was originally built with mud.
She noted the critical role the Kilgoris NG-CDF office has played in improving the status of schools within the constituency.
During the commissioning event, MP Sunkuli urged teachers to take responsibility for the quality of education, emphasising that student success was not only about exam results but also the efforts of dedicated teachers.
He also highlighted the broader impact of the NG-CDF, which has improved schools’ infrastructure, renovations of schools, opening up of feeder roads, and other developments across the constituency.
The four newly commissioned classrooms—two at Inkoriento Primary School and two at Ilkujuka Primary School—are part of Sunkuli’s continued efforts to improve the learning environment in the region.
Sunkuli promised to keep working towards making schools a proud place for both teachers and the learners.
These infrastructural improvements align with the government’s push to implement the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in schools. Sunkuli further defended the critical role of NG-CDF, emphasising that it should not be removed.
