Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has launched the construction of new learning facilities at Kirigiti Primary and Junior School in Kiambu Town Constituency, in a move aimed at improving the school’s infrastructure and learning environment.
The project will include 10 classrooms, an administration block and an 18-door ablution facility, according to Kindiki, who presided over the launch on Wednesday, October 14, 2026.
Kindiki was accompanied by Kiambu Town MP Machua Waithaka during the launch, which brought together elected leaders, government officials and grassroots representatives.
The Deputy President said additional funding would be provided for the second phase of the project, with other schools in the area also set to benefit from government support.
He noted that the additional interventions would respond to requests made by residents and their area Member of Parliament, as the government seeks to address infrastructure needs in local schools.
The construction is expected to expand the school’s learning facilities and improve access to essential amenities for pupils and staff.
Kiambu Woman Representative Anne Wamuratha also attended the event, alongside Thika Town MP Alice Ng’ang’a and Kiambaa MP Njuguna Kawanjiku.
Members of county assemblies, government officials, professionals and grassroots leaders were also present during the launch.
The project adds to ongoing efforts to improve education infrastructure, with classroom capacity, sanitation facilities and administrative spaces remaining important components of a conducive learning environment.
Further details on the project’s total cost and completion timeline were not provided in the announcement.
