Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro visited Kiharu Technical and Vocational College in Murang’a County recently to check on a new multi-story tuition block. The building is almost finished and funded through the National Government Constituency Development Fund for his area.
It will have modern classrooms for courses like ICT, automotive mechanics, and other technical skills.
The college sits at Kiambugi, off the Murang’a-Kiriaini road, about 17 kilometers from Murang’a town. Students from the constituency and nearby areas attend. The new block should help more young people get practical training and better job chances.
Nyoro named the building after former President Mwai Kibaki. He spoke about Kibaki’s time in office from 2002 to 2013, when Kenya saw GDP growth between 5 and 7 percent some years.
Big projects like the Thika Superhighway started then too. Nyoro said honouring Kibaki this way fits because of his work on the economy and roads.
Many supporters liked the idea. They shared photos online and called it a good use of CDF money.
Some said Nyoro sets an example for other MPs on development projects. The college itself started as a partnership between the constituency fund and the Ministry of Education.
Not everyone agreed on the naming. A few people online asked why public buildings get named after leaders. They said facilities should stay neutral. Others brought up old election issues in the area, but most comments stayed on the project itself.
Kiharu TVC offers diploma and certificate courses in things like building technology, electrical work, and business. The new classrooms will add space as enrolment grows. Locals hope it brings more skills training close to home.
Nyoro often highlights education in his constituency. He runs programs for bursaries and school support. This block fits that focus.
The visit happened late in 2025, as work wraps up. Once open, students can use the rooms soon. For many in Murang’a, it means better access to vocational training without travelling far.
Projects like this show how CDF money gets used on the ground. People watch to see if it opens on time and helps youth find work.
