The school which was established in 1982 with an enrolment of 1200 pupils has marked tremendous improvement academically over the last five years due to key motivational projects by the hardworking legislator.

A fully fledged computer lab was set up in 2016 by the MP. Additionally, he has consistently sponsored the top two pupils in KCPE who score 400 marks marks and above with full year school fees.

The legislator is also building two new classrooms at the school aimed at accomodating the bulging pupil population precipitated by an improved learning environment .

Speaking at the handover ceremony, Hon Tim Wanyonyi stated his unwavered support of CDF adding that the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) has been of great help to Kenyans, subsequently urging the state and MPs to guard it.

“It is very clear that these funds have had an impact especially in uplifting of education standards in areas that were suffering from neglect by past regimes,” Wanyonyi said.

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,
