Maracha District.
21-5-2025.
The Maracha Constituency MP Aspirant Uhuru Nelson has on Tuesday, 20-5-2025, delivered another 15 bags of cement to continue the construction of a four-classroom block at Olua school, which is a community-based school with classes from P.1 to Primary 5, has over 600 pupils enrollment and 10 teachers.
Tuesday's donation comes on top of an earlier donation of 50 bags of cement to start the foundation for the construction of the classroom block and 2m shs, which he gave in 2024 for the payment of salaries for teachers at the school.
The nearest Schools are Alivu Primary, which is 4Km away, and Esemayi Primary, which is inaccessible for the children due to the lack of a bridge on a river linking Alivu Parish to Esemayi Primary; Oluodri Primary is the only School in Alivu Parish. Kijomoro Sub-county in Maracha District which the children in the area learn from.
With the current block of 4 rooms at the school being shared both as classrooms and teacher's office, leading into lower class pupils being taught in the church which shares the same compound with the school, Ojipaku village LC1 Chairperson Mr Adriko Ephraim decried the dilemma, which he said has led into suspension of keeping holy communion in this church after the children who were being taught in the church tampered with the Alter, Holy Communion and its place for keeping it.
The head of security intelligence in Kijomoro Sub-county, Afande Sylvester Etoma, who has been a vocal promoter of Education in Maracha District, expressed gratitude to the Maracha Constituency MP Aspirant Uhuru Nelson for coming to their rescue as the people of Kijomoro Sub-county.
“Every time we have been disturbing the parents in Alivu Parish in contributing monies to address the challenges of the school, but now with your intervention, it has reduced the burden on parents and us,” he noted while thanking Mr. Uhuru Nelson his generosity.
The GISO, however, castigated some of the Community members for being tricky and dodging to work at the ongoing construction of the classroom block at the school.
One of the parents at the school, Endema Godfrey, noted that they have been struggling as the parents in paying 2000 Shs as PTA charge and 5000 Shs per parent every term to cater for the salaries of the teachers who volunteer to teach children at the community school.
The project Chairperson for the school, Dravu Charles, expressed optimism about the completion of the school construction project.
“We have not received any contribution from other politicians or any NGO, apart from Uhuru Nelson who has made enormous donations of money and cement for the construction of the school”, Mr Dravu stressed while pointing at roofing, which is the next stage of the construction project which may defeat them if other well-wishers do not come in to help them as communities of Alivu Parish.
Hon. Candia Cain, the Councilor for Alivu Parish to Kijomoro Sub-county Council, praised the Aspiring Candidate Uhuru Nelson for being a person of both words and actions.
“Ever since Uhuru Nelson launched his MP seat Candidature, he is very unique and generous but not like other politicians who come in front of the public to lie, to kneel and take pledges which they don't even fulfill”, Hon Candia averred as he rallied the public to embrace and vote for action-oriented people like Uhuru Nelson.
