Residents of Githunguri Constituency are set to benefit from
a state-of-the-art laboratory at Nyaga Secondary School, located in Ngewa
Ward, Kiambu County.
The Sh8.3 million facility will be constructed and equipped
under the NG-CDF Board’s Best Practice Demonstration Programme (BPDP).
This initiative follows Githunguri’s recognition for
exemplary project execution under the Constituency Development Fund (CDF).
Area MP Gathoni Wamuchomba announced that the lab will
transform Nyaga Secondary School, significantly enhancing
students' access to technology and preparing them for a tech-driven future.
“This project will provide our students with essential
learning skills, helping them compete in the global digital economy,” said
Wamuchomba.
In a letter, the NG-CDF Board has awarded the tender for the
construction and equipping of the lab to M/S Ewecole Construction Limited, a
Nairobi-based company.
The organization’s
contact person, David Kariuki Njuguna, has been instructed to liaise with the
County Works Officer, who will serve as the Project Manager and the Principal
of Nyaga Secondary School.
This collaboration will ensure a seamless site handover and
smooth implementation of the project.
The construction will be carried out on the second floor of
an existing structure at Nyaga Secondary School and will include the addition
of a staircase.
“The project is expected to be monitored closely by the
NG-CDF Committee chairperson to ensure adherence to timelines and quality
standards. Regular site meetings will be convened by the Project Manager, with
feedback provided to the Board through monthly reports.”
The Best Practice Demonstration Programme (BPDP) is designed
to highlight successful NG-CDF-funded initiatives, serving as models for other
constituencies.
Githunguri’s
recognition under this program underscores the constituency’s dedication to
impactful development projects that address community needs.
“The new lab is anticipated to provide Nyaga
Secondary School students with hands-on experience, bridging the gap and opening new
opportunities for learning and innovation. Additionally, the lab will be
available for use by other educational stakeholders and community members,
further enhancing its impact.”
Residents and stakeholders of Nyaga Secondary School have
expressed optimism about the project’s potential to uplift education standards
in the area.
With this initiative, the Githunguri Constituency continues to
set a benchmark for the effective use of public funds, ensuring that development
priorities translate into tangible benefits for the community.
