James Munene Thuku Rescues Training College as Hundreds Celebrate Graduation
By Editorial Team.
Roysambu parliamentary aspirant James Munene Thuku has stepped in to rescue one of the area’s leading training institutions from the brink of collapse, ensuring hundreds of students continue their education without disruption.
The Vision Training and Caterers Institution had been facing a serious crisis in July and August this year, accumulating significant rent arrears that led the landlord to threaten eviction. The looming closure had raised fears among students, parents, and staff, many of whom had invested time, money, and hope in pursuing their education.
Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Mr Munene, a businessman and politician with a growing reputation for community-focused interventions, intervened to negotiate the institution’s continued stay. His efforts not only prevented immediate eviction but also provided a window for the institution to stabilize and plan for the future.
Beyond securing the institution’s premises, Mr Munene also called on the area Member of Parliament to release the bursaries kitty, stressing that students should not bear the brunt of administrative delays. Education stakeholders say this move was critical in ensuring that students could access funds necessary for tuition, learning materials, and other essential needs.
The results of his intervention were clear on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, when hundreds of students graduated from the institution in a ceremony filled with joy and relief. The event marked a significant turnaround from the uncertainty that had overshadowed the school just months earlier.
“This is what gives me fulfillment, holding leaders accountable and ensuring promises are acted on, not just spoken,” Mr Munene said during the graduation ceremony. His statement resonated with parents, staff, and students who had witnessed the transformative impact of timely leadership and advocacy.
Education experts and community members have praised Mr Munene’s actions, describing them as a shining example of leadership that prioritizes people’s welfare over politics. By stepping in at a critical moment, he not only saved the institution but also reinforced the importance of accessible, uninterrupted education in shaping the future of young learners.
The graduation ceremony, attended by students, staff, and local residents, was a celebration not just of academic achievement but of resilience, hope, and the power of community-oriented leadership.
