Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>National Assembly speaker Moses Wetang\u2019ula on Friday led a Harambee at Chebukaka Girls High School in Kabuchai constituency, Bungoma. The funds will be used to construct new abolition, complete digital laboratories and improve other infrastructures.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the event, Wetang\u2019ula said the Kenya Kwanza government was determined to invest heavily in education. \u201cWe have come here to raise funds so that we can develop Chebukaka, it’s one of our oldest schools in Bungoma and we should make it better so that our children get quality education,\u201d Wetang\u2019ula said.<\/p>\n

The national assembly speaker also raised concerns over the surging number of teenage pregnancies and gender-based violence against women, warning men who prey on school-going girls.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was unhappy when I heard that Bungoma, Kilifi and Samburu have earned negative distinction on the number of teenage pregnancies and GBV. The governor needs to do something,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who think they must have sexual affairs with school girls, let them buy their wives uniforms so that they can love them more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka who was the guest speaker said, he had cleaned up the scholarship mess saying those who are already benefiting will proceed.<\/p>\n

He said the county has large debts in schools affirming that his administration approved Sh70 million that is currently being dispersed to schools. Chebukaka Girls Principal Rose Berda applauded the leaders for accepting to turn up for the drive saying the move will motivate the learners.<\/p>\n

She, however, said that the school has 500 students in the county scholarship program. Berda said that so far, the school has greatly improved citing 2018 when the school sent 11 students directly to the university adding that in 2022 the number increased to 126.<\/p>\n

She said that the mean score also increased from 4.7 in 2018 to 6.6 in 2022. Berda called on the leaders and other well-wishers to support the school to complete the laboratories and an academic complex saying it will enable the students to score high in sciences.<\/p>\n
