Ndindi Nyoro Reveals What Triggered The Tiling, Cabros in Public Schools
Soon after being elected for his first term in 2017, Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro traveled to South Africa, changing the lives of thousands of students in his constituency.
Nyoro was taking a stroll through Cape Town when he noticed a beautiful and well-maintained educational institution that piqued his interest.
Muringa Primary School.

Kambirwa Primary School.
Both are almost fully done. Landscapping and Cabro Works. The Schools were tiled and renovated in the 1st term.
Many such projects have been completed in Kiharu Public Schools.

As he got closer, he realised it was a public institution and took photos with his phone.
This was due in part to his inability to believe that a public school could look so good, as well as his desire to see if the same could be replicated at home.
When he returned, the MP had a meeting with the constituency’s NG-CDF workers and shared the story.
They discussed whether it was possible to implement it locally and how this would be done.
They consulted architects and other experts before deciding to stop implementing construction projects through the traditional tendering process.

Instead, they chose the labor-based model, which would reduce costs by up to 40%.
But first, the NG-CDF needed to train residents in the technical skills required to fill the jobs created by the new system of project implementation.
“We took a batch of youths for training in tiles installation and professional painting to ensure their workmanship was of high quality,” the MP said.
Gikandu Primary School is undergoing transformation.

Construction materials are also sourced from local suppliers, ensuring that local families benefit whenever there is an ongoing project in the area.
Nyoro was able to renovate and tile all 112 public primary schools during his first term, and by 2022, he was already planning to lay cabros in their compound.
The goal, he stated, was to convert public schools into academies and create a conducive learning environment for students.
Already, 30 primary schools have had their compounds landscaped and paved, which has sparked excitement among students.
Kirogo Primary School, Kiumu Primary School & Gathaithi Upper Primary School are almost complete. The Schools which are fully tiled are being landscaped, including Cabro Works.

The upgrade, according to Nyoro, will provide a solid foundation for students and boost their confidence, ensuring they have a polished demeanour by the time they enter secondary school.
“We started with ten schools and added twenty more over the August holidays. In December, more schools will benefit,” stated Nyoro.
