Nani Kama Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru....?

Kirinyaga County Government on Tuesday, January 12, released Ksh110 million that will go towards paying school fees for 40,000 secondary and university students.

The county picked the beneficiaries through a vetting process overseen by the Ward Bursary Committees.

The bursary is expected to benefit 32,000 students from secondary schools and 8,000 students at the university level.

Speaking during the event, Kirinyiga County governor Anne Waiguru noted that the disbursement was part of the county’s plan to uplift education in the county.

“My government remains committed to supporting the education of the children in the county and the improvement of academic performance in Kirinyaga and ultimately, the lives of the county youth," she stated.

The event was attended by Kirinyaga County Assembly Leader of Majority, Kamau Murango as well as ward representatives who applauded the plan.

The county also announced that the county was in the process of distributing 140,000 facemasks and water tanks to Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centers.

“The county’s department of health is working closely with all the schools to offer guidance on Covid-19 and monitor the implementation of the set health guidelines.

“All our schools have been assigned a health worker and a health facility to which any suspected case of Covid-19 should be reported,” she added.

Ward representatives noted that the bursaries would go a long way in reducing the parents’ burden of school fees.

Bursary na shule ni free banaya

Shule gani hiyo free?

and beyond

That’s avenue for stealing public fund. Haka kamalaya Kako na mjengo ime kwama mahali.

Each gets 2750, if equally divided!

Shes clever…mwangi wa iria has also been clever with his dairy, milk coolers and nappier grass project. These are the projects that directly impact mwananchi…sio harambee kwa kanisa

They should have just constructed schools and paid teachers

Kumbe ni wizi tu. None of these popular politicians are doing anything for mwananchi. Very selfish

All highschools and primary schools are free

Lakini hii story ya bursary ni all messed up. My mom always gets my nieces and nephews bursary funding and they give it to her without fail tho’ she is one of the biggest landowners in her constituency and among the wealthiest. Totally undeserving …

Had a consultative meeting with the UK High Commissioner to Kenya, H.E Jane Marriott, O.B.E who paid a courtesy call to Mt Kenya Governors during her 3-day tour of the region. We deliberated on various issues including how the region can benefit from Kenya-UK ties…
I later held a side conversation on the need for women’s empowerment and how we can collaborate to advance gender equality in Kenya.

Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru and Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho have resolved to put aside their political differences and work together to ensure the proposed constitutional changes contained in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) are passed at the referendum.
The two reconciled Wednesday during a closed-door leaders’ meeting in Sagana town convened to discuss the BBI campaign strategy for Kirinyaga County and central Kenya by extension.

According to insiders, the governor and Dr Kibicho reunited for a common goal.
“The county boss and the PS decided to come together to drum up support for BBI.
They noted that the country is bigger than an individual and declared a ceasefire to ensure BBI is voted for by all residents,”
an insider who sought anonymity said.

The meeting also brought together ward representatives, Senator Charles Kibiru and Infrastructure Principal Secretary Paul Maringa.

However, two Members of Parliament, Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu) George Kariuki (Ndia) and Woman Representative Wangui Ngirici were conspicuously absent. The legislators are allied to Deputy President William Ruto who has shown lukewarm support for the BBI.
Governor Waiguru and Dr Kibicho had been at loggerheads for a long time. At one time, she wrote an open letter to the PS accusing him of undermining her.
She hit out at Dr Kibicho for inspecting development projects in Kirinyaga without informing her and allegedly engaging in politics despite being a civil servant.

She accused Dr Kibicho of meddling in the controversial Sh15 million Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri) project in Wamumu and challenged him to resign and join politics.
During the visit, Dr Kibicho appeared to blame the delay in building the project on Governor Waiguru’s administration.
“What is PS Kibicho’s interest in this project?” Ms Waiguru asked then.

She explained that President Uhuru Kenyatta required a memorandum of understanding to be signed between the county and Kemri so that the interests of Kirinyaga residents, whom she was elected to represent, were taken into account.
Ms Waiguru had also blamed her impeachment by Kirinyaga MCAs on Dr Kibicho. Ward reps had last year resolved to send the governor packing but she was saved by the Senate which said she had not grossly violated the Constitution as alleged by the county legislators.

[SIZE=6]BBI referendum[/SIZE]
During Wednesday’s meeting, the leaders exuded confidence that the BBI document will be passed if a referendum is held.
The leaders said they will conduct civic education at the grassroots to ensure the residents understand the contents of the document.
“I have read the document and understood it. BBI is good and we would like the residents also to know that," said Ms Waiguru while thanking Kirinyaga ward representatives for unanimously passing the Bill.

Dr Kibicho reiterated that residents will not be coerced to support the document.
“We shall peacefully educate the residents and make them understand [it] so that they can embrace BBI," he said.
