Being closer to the national government has its own benefits as three legislators showed by sweeping clean World Bank projects for secondary school to their constituencies.
Kuria West MP Mathias Robi, Kuria East MP Marwa Kitayama and their Uriri counterpart Mark Nyamita used their closeness to government to usurp their other colleagues to Secondary Education Quality Improvement Projects.
The project is funded by the World Bank and the government and gave out 170 secondary schools infrastructure development projects in Migori, where out of eight constituencies only the three benefitted.
Out of regular schools 36 class rooms with furniture, 98 sanitation facilities and 36 laboratories will be built.
Among special schools there are three classrooms and a water project.
Constituencies left out are Rongo, Awendo, Suna East, Suna West and Nyatike.
According to the county Director of Education Jacob Onyiego and the project manager Nicholas Okoth said the projects were 84 per cent complete and a special taskforce will be created to ensure the reminder is completed before the September deadline to hand of them over.
This is how the projects were distributed:
- Sanitation: Kuria West 47, Uriri Constituency 25 and Kuria East 25
- Laboratories: Kuria West Constituency 17, Kuria East constituency 10 and Uriri Constituency 9
- Classrooms: Kuria West constituency 16, Uriri constituency 12 and Kuria East constituency 8
- Special Secondary School: Kuria West constituency 2 schools, Kuria East constituency 1 and Water borehole
