Kangemi Primary School was established in 1927. It is the only public primary school in the expansive Mountain View Ward. The school has a current enrollment of 1,846 pupils and 30 teachers.
The school bore the brunt of a ballooning population of its catchment comprising of Gichagi, Rift Valley, Village Inn and St Joseph informal settlement areas. 
The free primary education programme introduced in January 2003 positively contributed to an increased enrollment of pupils at the school .The high enrollment with the limited physical facilities at the school resulted in congested classrooms.
The defunct city council failure to allocate resources to the school further contributed to the sorry state of affairs with the school infrastructure being overstretched.
The school depicted decay, disuse and neglect. Everything was in tatters from the crumbling ceilings, leaking roofs,potholed roofs,shattered window panes, broken wooden doors and the few scattered desks and chairs.
Additionally, the school did not have a proper fence predisposing school equipment and materials to security risk. The previously functional swimming pool was blooming with algae on its surface. It also provided  a breeding ground for mosquitoes in addition to a hiding place for potential criminals.
Confronted with this picture, Westlands MP Hon Tim Wanyonyi embarked on an elaborate plan to improve the school upon his election in 2013.
In a span of four years Hon Tim Wanyonyi has delivered 400 desks and 400 chairs to the school, partnered with the County Government to set up a perimeter wall around the school,revamped the swimming pool, built and equipped a special unit through partnership with the Australian High Commission, setting up a fully fledged state of the art computer lab in addition to renovating all the 40 classrooms at the school (renovation involves: replacing all broken windows, putting floor tiles, setting up new ceilings and iron sheets, putting up new metallic doors to replace wooden doors, painting the whole school, installing new blackboards, shelves and whiteboards, proper wiring of the school). 
Kangemi Primary School Computer LAB set up and equipped by Westlands MP Hon Tim Wanyonyi on June 29, 2015.

The school which had degenerated into a state of disrepair and decrepitude is now a child friendly public school due to the able leadership of Westlands legislator Hon Tim Wanyonyi. The classes are now filled with the voices of happy pupils and teachers.This marked the first major renovation of its kind in the last three decades.

He was categorical that the land belongs to Nairobi School and the residents have no option but to voluntarily leave or be forcefully evicted.
