Githunguri Township Primary School has received a major boost after Githunguri Member of Parliament Gathoni Wamuchomba delivered a brand new school bus, fulfilling a key promise to the institution.
The school, widely recognised as one of the top-performing institutions in Githunguri Constituency and the wider Central Kenya region, is expected to benefit significantly from the new bus, which will ease transport challenges for learners and support school activities.
Speaking during the handover, the MP emphasised that the delivery of the bus was part of her commitment to improving learning conditions and supporting academic excellence within the constituency. She noted that access to reliable transport plays a critical role in ensuring learners can fully participate in school programmes, including academic trips, co-curricular activities, and competitions.
For years, the school has maintained a strong academic record but has faced limitations due to inadequate transport. The new bus is expected to address these challenges by providing a safe and dependable means of travel for students and staff.
Education stakeholders in the area welcomed the development, saying it will enhance mobility and expose learners to more opportunities beyond the classroom. They noted that such support is key in nurturing well-rounded students and sustaining high performance.
Parents and residents also lauded the initiative, describing it as a timely intervention that will ease the burden of transport costs and improve the overall school experience. Many said the bus will not only benefit current learners but also future generations.
The MP reiterated her commitment to delivering on promises made to constituents, stressing that education remains a top priority in her development agenda. She added that more projects targeting schools and youth empowerment are in the pipeline.
Githunguri Township Primary School continues to stand out as a centre of academic excellence, attracting learners from across the constituency. The addition of a school bus is expected to further strengthen its position by enhancing access and participation in various programmes.
The handover underscores the importance of investing in education infrastructure and support systems that directly impact learners’ daily experiences.
