Kiambu Town Member of Parliament, Machua Waithaka, has reaffirmed his commitment to grassroots development, underscoring the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) as a lifeline for communities and a cornerstone of his leadership.
Inspecting the tarmacking of the Kaiyaba–Muchatha Road in Kanunga, Waithaka hailed the project as a symbol of progress and a promise fulfilled to his constituents.
“For years, this road was a nightmare — dusty in the dry season and impassable in the rains. Today, we are rewriting that story. This road will boost trade, ease movement for schoolchildren, farmers, and boda riders, and give our people dignity,” the MP said.
Alongside this, work has begun on the ACK–Palmview–ACK Mungai Chengecha Ring Road, which residents say will reduce travel time, lower transport costs, and open up new business opportunities.
The MP said infrastructure projects remain central to his development agenda, but education is his greatest priority. Schools across the constituency — including Ndumberi, Gichocho, and Kiambu Primary — have received new classrooms, modern roofing, tiled floors, solar power, fully equipped JSS laboratories, and ablution blocks.
“This transformation is not just about classrooms; it’s about giving our children hope and our teachers the right environment to inspire excellence. When schools are modernized, performance improves, and our community thrives,” Waithaka said.
Residents welcomed the changes. “We used to fear rains because our children sat in leaking classrooms,” said Mary Wanjiru, a parent at Gichocho Primary. “Now, they study in tiled, modern classrooms — this is the development we prayed for.”
The MP further highlighted bursary allocations, cabro-paved compounds in schools, and investments in solar installations, describing them as deliberate steps to ensure equity in education.
In his address, Waithaka emphasized that CDF funds must be managed transparently to truly serve the people.
“We have remained accountable and people-centered. Every bursary, every classroom, every road reflects the will of the people. By 2027, I want every school in Kiambu to have the infrastructure needed for quality education,” he pledged.
While residents praised the projects, political observers say Waithaka’s development record is steadily positioning him as a unifying figure in Kiambu politics. His emphasis on both service delivery and national unity is seen as an effort to bridge political divisions.
“We are not just building roads and schools; we are building unity and prosperity. Development is the best way to heal divisions and give our people hope,” Waithaka remarked during a grassroots leaders’ meeting reviewing his three-year scorecard.
For many constituents, the projects represent more than just infrastructure they symbolize renewed trust in leadership. Step by step, Waithaka says, Kiambu is being transformed into a model constituency where progress and accountability go hand in hand.
