Wetang’ula Commissions Classrooms in Kakamega, Urges Unity and Voter Registration

By Ahmed Salat Ali 

Moses Wetang'ula, the Speaker of the National Assembly, on Monday commissioned eight newly constructed classrooms at Maturu Comprehensive School in Lugari Constituency, Kakamega County, in a project funded through the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF).

The classrooms were built under the leadership of Lugari MP Nabii Nabwera and are expected to improve learning conditions for hundreds of pupils in the area.

Speaking during the commissioning ceremony, Wetang’ula said investment in education infrastructure remains vital in promoting equality and improving opportunities for children, particularly in rural communities.

“Education must remain the great equalizer in our society. When we invest in proper learning facilities, we ensure that our schools are centres of knowledge and opportunity, not graveyards of education,” said Wetang’ula.

He commended the effective use of NG-CDF resources in Lugari Constituency, noting that well-planned projects demonstrate the transformative impact of the fund when properly utilized.

“NG-CDF projects are visible and impactful when the resources are well defined and prudently used. Leaders must ensure minimal wastage and direct these funds toward projects that genuinely transform lives,” he added.

Wetang’ula also criticised leaders who promote divisive and ethnically driven politics, urging residents to embrace unity and focus on development-oriented leadership.

He further encouraged residents of Maturu to take advantage of the government’s move to ease restrictions on acquiring national identification documents.

“I urge residents to obtain their national identification cards so that they can register as voters and actively participate in choosing leaders who will champion their interests,” he said, while reiterating his support for the re-election of William Ruto.

During the event, residents raised concerns about poorly positioned bus stops along busy roads in the area, which they said had contributed to several accidents and loss of lives.

In response, Wetang’ula pledged to engage the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) to urgently review the matter and implement safety measures.

“We cannot allow our roads to become death traps. I will engage KeNHA to ensure the bus stops are properly positioned to safeguard motorists, pedestrians, and school children,” he said.

The event was attended by senior political leaders, including Navakholo MP Emmanuel Wangwe and political strategist Farouk Kibet.
