Deputy President Kithure Kindiki on the spot for splashing money weekly on empowerment drives, as students in six public schools in Tharaka Nithi study in dilapidated structures.
According to a report by Citizen TV on Monday night, in schools Kathanga, Kiairanthi, Gatiriku, Gakuyu, and Kathandeni are facing a severe lack of amenities, with pupils also exposed to risks such as snake attacks and the daily struggle for water.
In the coverage, the students were captured learning over crumbling buildings with leaking roofs, cracked walls, and inadequate sanitation.
Taking on social media to express their anger towards Kindiki, who hails from the area, here are some of the reactions from Kenyans;
“Kithure Kindiki‘s Tharaka Nithi state of schools. Why not empowerment programs to schools.”
Sholla Ard:
“Eeeeih let laugh & cry at the same time This is Kathanga primary school in Tharaka Nithi Where Kithure Kindiki comes from The same Kindiki moving around with fake empowerment program & monies The one supporting Ruto KSh 1.2 bn church Guys can’t even fix his local.”
Billy said:
“Kathanga Primary School in Tharaka Nithi County. The state of disrepair is visible everywhere. Classrooms are barely standing, with pupils distracted by gaping holes in the walls and dust-filled air. DP Kithure Kindiki is busy with empowerment programs.”
Dr. Fred Matiang’i said:
“Tharaka Nithi is Home County to DP Kithure Kindiki Yet he is Moving around the Country with Cash in Sacks for Empowerment Programmes. Anyway as a Senator he Flew a Chopper to Construct a Mud Classroom.”
Allan Obare said:
“Citizen TV has exposed learners in dilapidated schools. Most have cracked mud walls, gaping roofs and lack basic learning materials, including books. But surprisingly, this is the country where the DP kithure Kindiki comes from.”
Kenyan Vigilante said:
“Schools in Tharaka Nithi County, where Deputy President Kithure Kindiki hails from, are still struggling even as the DP moves around splashing millions in the name of empowerment!”
Early, women in Kisii cried out after receiving KSh 2,000 to dived among 31 women, each receiving KSh 64 during the empowerment drive, poking holes on the truth about the hyped empowermnet drives by the government.
