Lari Constituency Member of Parliament, Joseph Mburu Kahangara, has inaugurated 12 newly renovated classrooms at Nyamweru Primary School in Lari-Kirenga Ward on Monday, increasing the total number of refurbished classrooms in the school to 23 since 2024.

The renovation works included new painting, re-roofing, tiling, and replacement of dilapidated iron-sheet structures.

Speaking at the event, Mburu reaffirmed his commitment to enhancing educational infrastructure while ensuring quality learning across the constituency.

He also highlighted the government’s annual financial capitation of Sh15,000 for junior secondary school learners and announced the launch of the “Tap to Eat” feeding programme for all primary schools in Lari set for second term.

“The programme requires each student to contribute Sh20 daily for meals, a programme geared towards significantly reducing the cost burden on parents,” Mburu stated.

The renovations,funded through the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF), is expected to ease congestion and improve the learning environment for both students and teachers.

Approximately 280 materials, such as iron sheets, doors, and timber, removed during the process were donated to vulnerable residents following community consultations

Geoffrey Muchiri led area residents in lauding the leader in his unrelenting efforts in combating alcoholism, a menace which had previously devastated the community.
