• 5 Mar 2025 in National Assembly: introducing the Sub-County Education Board will go a long way in resolving the challenges that schools face today. My Constituency is second in terms of landmass after Kiharu Constituency. Many children in my Constituency walk five to seven kilometres to access education.
