The county government of Nyamira is on the spot following revelations that most public schools are lacking basic necessities for the early child development education (ECDE) centres.
This is contrary to reports shared to residents that all the ECDE learning centres are done to the standards across the county.
At Mote Oguto P.A.G Primary school, the situation of the learning center was in a deplorable state and poses great dangers to the young learners.
The structure being used by the learners is a disaster in waiting owing to its bad state. Roofs are either leaking or some parts of iron sheets missing, leaving the kids to be either scourged or rained on.
The floor is dusty and not maintained which can cause respiratory problems and unending flu.
Learners are also at risk of being attacked by lice. The walls are built of old rusty sheets which are broken and hanging loosely exposing them to untold injuries during play time.
An adult can easily slip and drop into the old pit latrines, which leaves one wondering how even the toddlers manage to use them.
The floors are long worn out and the school management and the community, decided to lay off cuts to serve as a floor. The state of the latrines are so worse that they can cave in any time as heavy rains are pouring in the area.
The school administration confirmed that they have never received any assistance from Governor John Nyagarama's administration, which is constitutionally in charge of ECDE.
Executive committee member for Education (ECM) Ms Gladys Momanyi said she was not aware of the situation but asked the school management to write a proposal to her office for assistance.
“I can’t really tell the situation of the facility but I urge the administration to do a proposal to my office so as we can see how best we can handle the situation,” she said.
