kabete mp aspirant issues ultimatum over dilapidated muguga primary school toilet
By Peace Muthoka
Kabete Member of Parliament aspirant James Wanjohi has issued a two-week ultimatum to the area MP, Githua Wamacukuru, over the poor state of a toilet at Muguga Wa Gatonye Primary School.
Wanjohi said the condition of the school toilet has deteriorated to alarming levels. He said it exposes pupils to serious health risks. He described the situation as shameful and unacceptable for a learning institution.
The aspirant spoke during a visit to the area, where he inspected the toilet facility. He said the structure is old, unsafe, and unfit for use by children. He noted that the smell, broken walls, and lack of proper sanitation create a hostile learning environment.
Wanjohi said pupils at the school face daily health threats. He warned that such conditions can lead to disease outbreaks. He added that young learners deserve dignity, safety, and a clean environment.
He challenged the sitting MP to urgently facilitate the construction of a modern toilet at the primary school. He said leaders must act fast when children’s welfare is at stake.
Wanjohi gave a clear timeline of two weeks for construction works to begin. He said residents will not remain silent if no action follows. He warned that the community will seek other lawful ways to demand accountability.
He said sanitation is a basic right. He added that leaders should never politicise such basic needs. He said children should not suffer because of leadership failures.
Wanjohi accused the current leadership of ignoring the problem for years. He said the toilet reflects deeper neglect in public service delivery. He said such issues continue to affect many schools in Kabete Constituency.
Parents at Muguga Wa Gatonye Primary School shared similar concerns. They said the toilet condition has worried them for a long time. Some parents said their children avoid using the facility during school hours.
Traders operating near the school also raised alarm. They said poor sanitation affects the entire community. They said the situation poses health risks beyond the school compound.
Residents welcomed Wanjohi’s visit and intervention. They said leaders rarely visit the area to address local problems. They praised him for engaging directly with the community.
One resident said children should not study in such conditions. Another said leaders must prioritise schools over politics. They urged the area MP to act immediately.
Wanjohi said leadership begins with listening. He said leaders must walk with the people and understand their struggles. He said public office should deliver solutions, not excuses.
He said the Muguga Primary School toilet problem is solvable. He said it requires commitment and accountability. He added that funds meant for public projects must benefit the people.
The aspirant said his leadership vision focuses on practical action. He said he believes in fixing basic services first. He said education, health, and sanitation form the foundation of development.
Wanjohi said Kabete deserves leaders who act. He said the constituency has suffered from delayed projects and broken promises. He said time has come for change.
He said if elected, he will prioritise schools, health centres, and public sanitation. He said he will work closely with residents to identify urgent needs. He promised transparency in the use of public funds.
Wanjohi urged leaders to protect children. He said pupils represent the future of the constituency. He said investing in their welfare secures long-term development.
As the two-week ultimatum begins, residents now await action. Many say they will closely watch the next steps. They hope the issue will finally receive the attention it deserves.
The situation at Muguga Wa Gatonye Primary School has reignited debate on leadership responsibility. For many residents, the toilet symbolises a bigger struggle for accountability and basic dignity.
