Igembe North MP Julius Taitumu has reaffirmed his commitment to improving education standards in the constituency by investing in projects that create a conducive learning environment for students and teachers.
Speaking at Naikuriu Senior School during the official commissioning of the school’s new dining hall and the handover of a 67-seater school bus, Taitumu described education as the greatest investment parents and leaders can make for future generations.
He said his office will continue prioritizing development projects that enhance access to quality education and improve learning conditions across all schools in the constituency.
”Today I officially handed over Bus Number Four to Naikuriu Senior School and commissioned the school’s new dining hall. I sincerely thank the Head of Institution, the teaching staff, the Board of Management, students, parents, non-teaching staff, and the entire Naikuriu community for their cooperation and support in making this day a success,” said Taitumu.
The legislator praised fellow leaders, including Igembe South MP John Paul Mwirigi and nominated MP Dorothy Muthoni, for their continued support towards strengthening the education sector.
He noted that collaborative efforts among leaders are helping transform education in the constituency and the country by creating opportunities for learners to excel academically.
”Together, we are building a brighter future for the next generation. I urge all education stakeholders to continue investing in education to ensure our learners have a bright future,” he said.
Before joining politics, Taitumu served for many years as a Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) official at both the local and national levels, a background he said continues to shape his passion for education.
He emphasized that the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) will continue financing projects that eliminate barriers to learning and improve school infrastructure.
Members of the school’s Board of Management welcomed the projects, saying the new 67-seater bus will ease transport challenges during national examinations, co-curricular activities, and educational trips.
They added that the new dining hall will enhance hygiene standards and comfortably serve the school’s growing population of more than 800 students.
