Ndindi Nyoro launches Ksh500-per-term school program with daily lunch
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has launched the 2026 edition of the Masomo Bora program, an initiative designed to support students in all 65 day secondary schools across the constituency.
In a statement on Tuesday, January 13, the MP said starting this term, school fees for all day secondary school learners, including senior secondary schools, will be set at Ksh500 per term.
In addition, Nyoro stated daily meals for students will be provided, including chapati on every last Friday of the month.
“School fees for all Day Secondary School learners will be Ksh500 per term starting this 1st term of 2026.
“All learners to be served lunch at school on all days, including Saturdays; githeri for 3 days and rice for 3 days. Uji for ‘tea’ break and chapati to be served for lunch every last Friday of the month,” he said.
To supplement existing support, Nyoro announced that the Kiharu NG-CDF will allocate an additional Ksh10 million for revision materials, adding to the Ksh20 million provided previously.
“Additional Ksh10 million for revision materials to be provided by Kiharu NG-CDF this financial year. Ksh20M has been provided in the previous years,” he added.
Beyond learning materials, over Ksh50 million will go towards school infrastructure, with a particular focus on laboratories.
“More than Ksh50 million to be provided for additional infrastructure, with a bias on laboratories. More has been provided since the programme started,” the lawmaker further said.

Further, to encourage enrollment in schools with low numbers or newly established institutions, Nyoro said free uniforms will be provided for all students entering Grade 10 in these schools.
“All students joining grade 10 in the 20 identified schools with low enrolment and the new schools (those starting this year) to be provided with uniforms for free,” he continued.
Nyoro added that in a bid to support co-curricular activities, all 65 schools will receive an extra Ksh50,000 to supplement the activity kitty, while Ksh 900,000 has been allocated for prize-giving celebrations, split equally between Murang’a East and Kahuro sub-counties.
“All the 65 Day Schools will be provided with an extra Ksh 50,000 to supplement the activity kitty since capitation is not enough. For music festivals, games, and co-curricular activities. Ksh900,000 is provided for prize-giving celebrations. Ksh450,000 for each of the two sub counties (Murang’a East and Kahuro). This is to reward the best performers without having parents pay for it,” he explained.
Teachers and school principals are also being recognized for their contributions, with paid trips to Mombasa and Dubai up for grabs.
“The best improved teacher per subject in each of the sub-counties to get a paid-up trip to Mombasa. This will include the previous year, since some were participating in the marking of KCSE when they could have travelled.
“Principals from the best and best-improved schools per ward to have a fully paid-up trip to Dubai. Of the 6 wards, twelve Principals will travel. Those who have travelled to Dubai before may choose to travel to Malaysia,” the MP noted.
