Kangemi Primary School pupils studying in one of the refurbished classrooms courtesy of Westlands MP Hon Tim Wanyonyi. 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 crumbl...

Of all the ODM MP's running in Nairobi, I am most impressed by the solid development record of the Hon Tim Wanyonyi who despite being a Person Living With Disability (PWD), still outshone able colleagues in the 11th parliament. Tim's vision is contained in a comprehensive strategic plan he crafted soon after being elected as MP 2013.
