The National Government-Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) for Mathioya is working on plans to construct a school for learners with disabilities.
According to the area Member of parliament Edwin Mugo, a piece of land where the school will be constructed has already been identified.
Speaking to KNA at Kiriaini Mixed Secondary School where he distributed Sh. 15 million bursaries for learners enrolled in day secondary schools, the MP noted that he has written to relevant government agencies about the school, and immediately after approval the construction will kick off.
Mugo observed that there are no public learning institutions for children with disabilities in Mathioya hence the learners are mixed with the others which is a challenge for them.
On the bursaries, the legislator noted that more than 4, 500 students are set each to get a bursary of Sh. 3, 000, money which already has been sent to the schools of the beneficiaries.
Mugo observed that day scholars previously have not been well factored in the NG-CDF bursaries saying those who used to be given the financial assistance got at most Sh. 1, 500.
He underscored the role played by secondary day schools saying the institutions have absorbed many learners whom their parents could not afford to take them to boarding schools.
