Mogaka Claims Kibaki, Uhuru Blocked Sh1.9bn Kuwait Funds for Nyamira Schools
Mogaka alleged that the funds were donated in recognition of the county's role in hosting thousands of internally displaced persons.
West Mugirango MP Steve Mogaka has accused former Presidents Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta of blocking a Sh1.9 billion donation from the Kuwaiti government intended for school construction in Nyamira County. Mogaka claims that the funds were donated to support education infrastructure following the county's role in hosting internally displaced persons (IDPs) during the 2007/2008 post-election violence but were held up during Kibaki and Kenyatta's administrations.
The MP stated that the money was finally released in 2023 under President William Ruto’s administration, leading to the construction of 13 schools in the West Mugirango Constituency. Mogaka expressed gratitude to the Kuwaiti government and President Ruto’s administration for the release of the funds, highlighting the positive impact on education conditions in Nyamira.
