Kapsowar: AIC Ng'orng'oroi Primary School in Kapsowar Ward has received Sh2.8 million from the Marakwet West National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), earmarked for critical infrastructure development and institutional land expansion.
According to Kenya News Agency, Marakwet West Member of Parliament Timothy Kipchumba stated that the funding will facilitate the construction of an additional classroom and the purchase of land to support the school's long-term spatial and academic needs. 'Through the Marakwet West NG-CDF, we have allocated Sh2.8 million to AIC Ng'orng'oroi Primary School. This allocation will directly support the construction of a new classroom and acquisition of land, addressing the school's infrastructural gaps and future development trajectory,' said Kipchumba.
The MP announced this during an education development forum convened by professionals from the Ng'orng'oroi community, who had mobilized further support to address the institution's urgent operational requirements. 'The contributions raised today, in addition to the NG-CDF allocation, will go a long way toward meeting the school's immediate and pressing needs,' he noted.
Kipchumba commended the alumni and local professionals for their initiative, highlighting their role in complementing government efforts to enhance access to quality education through localized support mechanisms. 'I sincerely thank the professionals from Ng'orng'oroi for their strategic and forward-looking intervention. Their commitment to investing in foundational education institutions is a demonstration of civic responsibility. I encourage other professionals across the constituency to replicate this model and contribute meaningfully to institutions that shaped their academic and professional journeys,' he urged.

It underscored the importance of public-private collaboration in improving educational infrastructure, especially in underserved rural settings. School administrators have welcomed the allocation, stating that the classroom construction will significantly alleviate congestion, improve the teaching and learning environment, and enhance pupil retention and performance at the institution.
