600 students have been able to have direct entry to various universities compared to other years where there were only 3 students in Malava Constituency and this is attributed to the efforts of Honourable Malulu Injendi as the Member of Parliament of the area.
Speaking to West FM during Cross Fire programme on Sunday 20th February, 2022, Hon. Injendi said that the improvement in education has been noticed since he took over office.
‘’Bursaries are offered because local day schools have school fees problems. Each and every student who has been having issues with school fees, CDF has been helping them in one way or the other. I have also been issuing mock examinations to different schools to improve their performance,’’ stated Injendi
The Malava legislator also said that he has been meeting both primary and secondary school teachers to discuss issues concerning education in his area and come up with ways to improve performance.
Not only did he build decent classes but he also put up modern twin laboratories and libraries in 8 years. He has also been able to build a total of 165 schools of which 116 are decent primary schools and 49 secondary schools with standard classes.
He added that there are Vocational Training Centres like Shamberere TTI which he pays thirty thousand shilling per student every year and they get a sum of 1.5M from CDF, and through CDF he too pays five hundred shilling for each student for registration.
He also said that they are working on the seven thousand shilling the examination fee for the Vocational Training Centres which the government is supposed to be paying.
‘’I also bought 3 school buses which I had targeted to buy a total of 6 but due to COVID-19 the plan failed. Nevertheless, I have received a report from the chiefs that there is 100% transition and also a good rapport among the teachers, students and parents, “he said.
Hon Injendi revealed that the current security system is tight as compared to the recent past years. He has been able to put up police posts in areas like Wasali, Imbiakalo and he added that he is looking for a piece of land at Namagana so that he can place another police post to beef up security in the area.
‘’I have been able to start a program which helps women and youths by giving them loans. Women are given the Uwezo funds which help them start and run their businesses which they later return,’ he disclosed
He said that he has been able to construct quite a number of roads. He was able to construct a road from Malava-Ikoli and he’s also planning to construct Malava-Samitsi.
He thanked the Deputy President Dr. William Ruto who in hand helped him with placing the street lights along the roadsides.
