BY FLEVIAN GEOFFREY: Uriri Member of Parliament Mark Nyamita has launched a comprehensive “Education Recovery” intervention in a bid to restore normalcy after a fire broke out at Bware Secondary School.
The MP’s visit to Bware Mixed Secondary School was marked by a blend of immediate humanitarian relief and the unveiling of a strategic long-term plan designed to overhaul both the school’s energy costs and its dipping academic standards.
The recent fire left dozens of students stranded, having lost all personal belongings, and led to the official condemnation of several primary buildings.
Responding to the crisis, Nyamita delivered a relief package including bedding and iron sheets for reconstruction.
He also gave KSh 500,000 to the school administration to facilitate the immediate purchase of uniforms and essential learning materials for the affected students.
“Our children cannot wait for bureaucracy while they sleep in the cold,” Nyamita stated.
“We must ensure every student is back in class with everything they need to succeed.”
Bware Mixed was officially integrated into the “Going Green” initiative, the 11th school in the constituency to adopt the program.
Under this framework, solar power becomes the primary energy source, with Kenya Power relegated to a secondary backup.
The MP noted that the transition would drastically slash monthly overheads, allowing the school to redirect funds from electricity bills toward critical learning resources and laboratory equipment.
While addressing on the ”decline” in recent examination results, Eng Nyamita announced an upcoming Emergency Academic Summit.
The summit will bring together staff and stakeholders to draft a radical strategy to reverse the downward trend.
He further pledged to lobby the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for the prioritization of permanent, pensionable teachers for Bware during the 2026/27 recruitment cycle.
He also addressed the “teething problems” of the CBC system, promising to advocate for enhanced implementation funding in the national budget to ensure a 100% transition rate.
Beyond education, the MP took a hard line on internal party friction within the ODM Uriri branch. Warning against “non-designated officials” attempting to orchestrate unauthorized leadership changes, Nyamita called for order.
“The party is governed by a constitution, not by roadside declarations,” he insisted, dismissing recent purported leadership shifts as illegitimate and demanding that all minutes be filed through official party headquarters.
With the 2027 General Election on the horizon, Nyamita issued a stern warning to leaders who have “lost respect for the electorate.”
He cautioned that voters are increasingly discerning and will punish those who prioritize personal interests over community needs.
Calls for accountability
West Kanyamkago MCA Peter Mijungu raised concerns over the utilization of disaster management funds.
“We are going to follow up on where the money allocated for disasters like the Bware fire actually goes,” Mijungu stated, decrying the lack of county-level support.
He further castigated the ODM party’s recent trend of “giving out tickets to every Tom, Dick, and Harry” without proper vetting.
