@Maskani254@Kakamega_037@Bulamwa@kawive But also the county boss is to be blamed, whats the role of his Chief officers and CECM of education?
Do we also have a service delivery ministry? How often do they get verified data from the fields about the progress of all this?#FixECDEFixTVETs@Maskani254
@Maskani254@kawive@nisisikenya@Kakamega_037 The county government of Kakamega has failed in protecting the rights of very young citizens. With funds being allocated for its completion, we need answers to why they're are stalled
#FixECDEFixTVETs
@Maskani254@kawive@nisisikenya How will we expect our children to grow up as responsible citizens while they can literally see how the duty bearers are failing them terribly at a very young age?
Do the children of the duty bearers learn here also?
#FixECDEFixTVETs@Maskani254
@Maskani254@kawive@nisisikenya This is a missed opportunity for quality education, an opportunity that maybe cant be retrieved soon
A failed society starts with failed ECDE structures which receives more than 4m a FY

Esumeya ECDE, located within Esumeya Primary School in Esumeya/Shinoyi/Shikomari Ward, Navakholo Sub-County, was envisioned as a vital investment in early childhood education, providing young learners with safe classrooms and a conducive environment to begin their educational journey. Like many ECDE projects across Kakamega County, it was intended to improve access to quality learning facilities and give children a strong foundation for their future.
However, years later, the project remains incomplete, denying learners the full benefits that were promised. While public resources continue to be allocated towards ECDE development, unfinished projects such as Esumeya ECDE raise concerns about implementation, project monitoring, and the pace at which critical education infrastructure is delivered.
The consequences of delayed completion extend beyond physical structures. Young learners continue to study in inadequate conditions, teachers face challenges in delivering quality education, and communities are left wondering when the promised investment will finally be realized.
As calls for accountability grow, the broader question remains: how can public institutions ensure that education projects are completed on time, resources are used effectively, and every child receives the learning environment they deserve?

The real story of Misimo ECDE begins with a promise to provide young children with a safe and conducive learning environment through the construction of modern Early Childhood Development Education facilities. The project was designed to include two classrooms, an office, two stores, four-door and two-door pit latrines, a kitchen shed, and the installation of a 5,000-litre water tank—critical infrastructure meant to improve access to quality early learning.
To make this vision a reality, KSh 4.5 million was allocated for the project, with the target being full completion. However, despite the allocation of public resources and continued budgetary provisions over subsequent financial years, the project remains unfinished. According to project records, Misimo ECDE has only reached 50% completion, with a contract sum of approximately KSh 4.5 million, yet learners continue to wait for the promised facilities.
Instead of accessing the modern classrooms and learning environment envisioned by the project, young children are forced to learn in inadequate and temporary structures that do not meet the standards expected for early childhood education. What was intended to be an investment in the future of the community has become another example of a stalled public project whose benefits remain out of reach.
Every year that the project remains incomplete is another year that children are denied the learning environment they were promised, despite public funds being budgeted and allocated. While the project remains stalled, young learners continue to bear the cost through overcrowded, unsafe, and inadequate learning spaces.
The situation raises important questions about project implementation, accountability, and the management of public resources meant to serve communities. If funds continue to be allocated, why is Misimo ECDE still stalled? Who is responsible for ensuring that young learners finally get the classrooms they were promised?
The #FixECDEFixTVETs Campaign is calling for transparency, accountability, and urgent completion of stalled ECDE and TVET infrastructure projects across Kakamega County. Every child deserves access to a safe and dignified learning environment, and every shilling allocated to education should translate into tangible results on the ground.
Where did the money go, and when will the promise to Misimo's young learners finally be fulfilled?

@Maskani254@kawive@TISAKenya@nisisikenya It hurts that while the duty bearers who we duly elected live in well furnished houses and yet we got a ECDE structure that still uses cow dung and mud.I even cant imagine the unfavorable conditions the learners have to go through while they struggle to get quality education
