Parents who have students in day primary schools in Kiharu constituency will now pay Sh1000 as school fees every term.
This is after area MP Ndindi Nyoro committed to give schools Sh60 million for infrastructural development.
Nyoro said the constituency management has optimised part of school supplies to reduce expenses.
"We have launched a very elaborate programme of revamping our infrastructure in all-day schools cutting across all students," Nyoro said.
The legislator explained that parents who previously paid between Sh4,000 to Sh5,000 will now pay Sh1,000.
This then means parents who paid Sh12,000 per year will now pay Sh3,000 annually.
"The rest of the money will be taken care of by Kiharu NG-CDF and other stakeholders will source for the money," he said.
Asked how schools will survive to run activities with the waiver, he explained that the constituency management will take care of the rest.
Apart from development, Nyoro also committed to ensure learners are given free meals in school, for six days a week.
"We have realised most students stay at home because they don't want to go hungry in school," he said.
The second term lawmaker also highlighted that all schools in the constituency have tiled floors.
"All our primary schools in Kiharu now look like academies and not just any school," he said.
This, he said, improves the learning environment for learners and impacts positively on their grades.
"We have done more in this programme to raise the issue of enrollment and transition, we have already exceeded 100 per cent transition," he added.
The learners will also receive extra books apart form the textbooks given by government for every subject.
"We have also allocated Sh10 million that will go towards distribution of books to our learners," he said.
Previously, Ndindi said MPs had plans to ensure the NG-CDF kitty is so well utilised that the government will want to channel more funds for more functions through it.
Ndindi, a close ally of President William Ruto, supported the president's vision to entrench the NG-CDF kitty in the Constitution saying this will ensure funds are utilised without disruptions.
According to the MP, the transition from 8-4-4 system to the Competence-Based Curriculum will heavily depend on the kitty to help develop the extra infrastructure required.
“The issue here is not who controls how much money, it is about how much of it impacts taxpayers. For example, there is money that comes from the Ministry of Interior to construct security infrastructure. We want to make NG-CDF so efficient that money will be channeled through it,” he said.
