He said the school bus for the little known school in Mumoni district will be acquired through the Mwingi North CDF kitty.

"The school has done us proud and since they had requested CDF to provide them with a school bus, their wishes have been answered because sooner than later they will have their own bus,' said the two term MP.

Nzengu was speaking at the Mwingi North CDF headquarters in Kyuso town during an event  that marked the commencement of the distribution of  bursary cheques worth KSh. 65,000 to heads of secondary schools and tertiary institutions in his constituency. About 15,000 needy learners are slated to benefit for the Mwingi North CDF  education bursaries this financial year.

Kaundu Mixed Day and Boarding Secondary school surprised many a folks by emerging from the blues to be ranked position five in the top 2025 KCSE schools in Kitui County. 

Among the 154  KCSE candidates  who sat their examination last year, all but  two qualified for direct university admission after scored grade C+ and above.

The school had the highest number of candidates who qualified for direct university admission in Kitui county. Speaking during the Kyuso bursary event, MP Nzengu said due to the harsh economic times Kenyans were faced with, Secondary school teachers should  not send learners who were unable to pay full school fees home. "I want school heads to understand that parents are hard up financially. They should accept whatever amounts parents can afford and retain students in school. Sending students home for school fees at this time will ruin their future as they will end up as school dropout," said the MP.

He said school heads with high number of learners in his constituency who have issues paying school fees should  approach the CDF for support. "If a school is experiencing fees balances amounting up to KSh. 2 million and we give them KSh 300,000 , is it not good enough  money to keep the school going for some time?" he posed.

The Gai Secondary school principal Peter Mwandikwa praised the MP for perpetually assisting needy students with bursaries via the Mwingi North CDF Kitui every other year. He however said the principals were currently in a catch 22 state after President William Ruto asked Grade 10 learned to go to senior school whether or not they had fees and uniforms.

The weatherman further anticipates April to be the peak of the March-April-May rainfall season with more widespread and enhanced rainfall distribution.

Ruku said Mt Kenya East comprising Kirinyaga, Embu, Tharaka Nithi, Meru and Isiolo counties, share common development priorities that require a coordinated approach to political participation and national dialogue.

Speaking at Jesus Christ Power of Resurrection Ministries in Isiolo County, the CS said regions that organise around shared interests are better placed to articulate their needs and participate effectively in leadership negotiations and development planning.

“Our focus is on internal cohesion and constructive engagement. Unity allows regions to speak clearly on issues that matter to their people, while remaining part of the larger national conversation,” Ruku said.

He noted that Mt Kenya East has historically played a key role in Mt Kenya politics and continues to contribute to the region’s overall political strength, adding that coordinated decision-making would help safeguard its long-term interests.

Ruku said residents of the region are increasingly keen to make informed and independent political choices that align with their development priorities, while maintaining cooperation with other Mt Kenya regions.

He pointed to the elevation of Deputy President Prof. Kithure Kindiki, who hails from Mt Kenya East, as an indication of the region’s growing presence in national leadership.

“As Mt Kenya East, we are committed to working together and engaging responsibly with other regions for the common good,” he said.

On the humanitarian front, Ruku addressed the ongoing drought and food insecurity affecting parts of the country, assuring residents that the government remains committed to ensuring no Kenyan goes hungry.

He said the government has set aside adequate resources for the purchase and distribution of relief food, noting that KSh6 billion has already been spent to support affected households and livestock.

The CS warned against the diversion or misuse of relief supplies, saying firm action would be taken against anyone found undermining the programme.

He also called on development partners, faith-based organisations and other stakeholders to support government efforts, saying collaboration remains critical in addressing food insecurity.

On security, Ruku reiterated the government’s commitment to ending cattle rustling, warning that the practice would no longer be tolerated and urging those involved to abandon the vice.

Leaders accompanying the CS maintained that they will not relent in ensuring Mt Kenya East political identity and interests are safeguarded for benefit of their people.
