Kitany Unveils Plan to End Mud-Walled Classrooms in Aldai
By Samson Kurgat || Kass Digital
In a bold push to modernize learning facilities, Marianne Kitany has launched an ambitious campaign to phase out mud-walled classrooms across Aldai Constituency.
Dubbed Operation Ondoa Matope—loosely translated as “remove the mud”—the initiative seeks to replace aging and fragile mud structures with permanent, modern classrooms, restoring dignity to dozens of public primary schools in the constituency.
The programme was officially flagged off at Kapsamut Primary School, where seven newly constructed classrooms have already been completed and handed over to learners.
For years, pupils at the school studied in mud-walled structures vulnerable to heavy rains and harsh weather. This week, they walked into bright, permanent classrooms—an emotional moment for both parents and teachers who have long advocated for improved infrastructure.
According to constituency records, Aldai has 52 schools with mud-walled classrooms. The legislator says the initiative will systematically upgrade all of them, largely through support from the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF).
“This transformation is about restoring pride in our schools and giving our children the environment they deserve,” the MP said during the launch.
Education stakeholders in the area have welcomed the move, noting that safe and modern classrooms not only improve learning outcomes but also boost morale among pupils and teachers alike.
With the 2027 General Election on the horizon, the infrastructure drive marks a significant development milestone for the constituency. If fully implemented, residents hope that by next year, mud-walled classrooms in Aldai will indeed be a thing of the past—replaced by safer spaces that reflect the aspirations of the community and the promise of quality education for every child.
