Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has announced a fully paid trip to Dubai for area 10 high school teachers who excelled in posting good performance in last year's Kenya Certificate of Secondary School Education (KCSE).

One will go to Malaysia since he had qualified for the same treatment in 2024 and visited Dubai.

The trip covers April 22 to April 27, 2025, and the beneficiaries have since been identified.

"Following the exemplary performance in the 2024 KCSE examination, the fully sponsored motivational trip to Dubai is for purposes of rewarding their dedication and outstanding results," reads the MP's announcement letter.

The beneficiaries are Mr Joseph Ng'ang'a Ngaruiya (Vidhu Ramji Secondary School), Ms Consolata Wanjiru Ndung'u (Maragi Secondary School), Ms Veronica Nduta Wambugu (Gikandu Secondary School), and Ms Lucy Kagwiria Kuria from Luke Gituri Secondary School.

More are Mr James Njau Muya from Mweru Secondary School, Mr Gabriel Kamau Gitau from Mukangu Secondary School, Ms Susan Waithira Kinyanjui from Kahuro Secondary School, and Mr Hudson Kamau Wangui from Mukumu Secondary School.

The list also has Mr Sospeter Maina Mware from Gathinja Secondary School, Mr Geoffrey Macharia Mboche from Mugoiri Mixed Secondary School, and Mr Samwel Muriithi Wanjau from Dr Matharite Secondary School.

Mr Ngaruiya will be visiting Malaysia.

The MP's letter seeks Teachers Service Commission's engagement in granting the lusted teachers permission to travel.

"We kindly request that you grant the above-mentioned teachers the necessary permission and support to travel. Thank you for your continued cooperation," the MP writes.

The motivation trip is part of Mr Nyoro's Masomo Bora initiative that he launched in 2023.

While launching the 2025 edition of the initiative at Mugoiri Mixed Day Secondary School, Mr Nyoro announced that the Dubai trip will be the second since it was unveiled.

The Masomo Bora initiative covers over 10,000 learners in day secondary schools within Kiharu.

Key component of the programme include school fees capping at Sh1,000 per term and an additional not more than Sh1,000 for remedial budget in all day secondary schools in Kiharu. 

Another component include timely budget for infrastructure development where the focus is building of laboratories and computer labs, already the MP saying there is Sh100 million available for the 2025 and 2026 drives.

The initiative also covers provision of revision books, porridge, and lunch for six(6) days a week including chapati lunch for the last Friday of the month in all day secondary schools.

Besides fully funding Prize Giving ceremonies in the constituency, the climax is the Dubai trip for two(2) Principals per ward benefitting the best and most improved day schools. The constituency has six(6) wards.

Teachers who lost best improved subjects get funded for a week-long vacation to Mombasa.

"The initiative covers all learners including those not from Kiharu as far as they are in schools within our borders," the MP said.

Murang'a Senator Joe Nyutu on April 18, 2025, said "this initiative had captured my attention when I was Senate's Education committee chair until recently when I was de-whipped".

He praised the initiative as a masterclass innovation that makes all stakeholders winners.

"Many legislators have gone to Kiharu to benchmark using the Masomo Bora initiative execution plan. If this initiative can be replicated in the whole country, we would rapidly achieve the constitutional right to free basic education that includes secondary education," Mr Nyutu said.

Murang'a County Assembly Youth Affairs Chief Executive Manoah Gachucha on Good Friday told us that "Mr Nyoro is an inspiration on how to attend to the future of the nation".

He said Mr Nyoro has since influenced many leaders to take education and matters of the underage seriously.

"We as a county are also in school feeding programmes, sponsorship of bright children from humble backgrounds to access high school education as well as rehabilitating ECDE infrastructure," Mr Gachucha said.

He said "these initiatives appear to have their pulse in Kiharu Constituency since Governor Irungu Kang'ata was also running them between 2007 to 2013 as area MP.

Recently, Mr Nyoro said "the best way to guarantee intellectual wellness of a country is through guaranteeing all children quality education and empowering them to realise their fullest potential".
