NYAMIRA: A GROUP TO BREAK THE DEADLOCK OVER NYAMIRA COUNTY UNIVERSITY'S SITE

A technical team comprising representatives from Kisii University and the Commission for Higher Education will settle the dispute among elected officials on the proposed location of Nyamira County University.

After a contentious meeting on Thursday of last week, during which several elected officials are reported to have fiercely disagreed with each other about who should bid for their electoral district, a choice was made.

Amos Nyaribo, the county governor, presided over the meeting, which was also attended by Senator Okong'o Omogeni, Woman Representative Jerusa Momanyi, Mps. Clive Ombane Gisairo (Kitutu Masaba), Joash Nyamoko (North Mugirango), Steve Mogaka (West Mugirango), Patrick Osero (Borabu), and Irene Mayaka (nominated MP).

The mission of establishing a university campus in Nyamira County has been assigned to Kisii University, but little has been done as a result of the leaders' squabbles and struggles about where to locate it.

Anticipated arrival

Sengera Manga Mixed is supported by Kitutu Masaba MP Clive Gisairo, Ikonge Boys Secondary School is supported by Joash Nyamoko (North Mugirango), Senator Kebaso/Bondo area is supported by Steve Mogaka (West Mugirango), and Kiabonyoru High School is supported by Borabu MP Patrick Osero.

 Kebaso Primary, Kiabonyoru High School, Sengera Manga Mixed Secondary, Ikonge Boys High, Simbauti Farm, and Riakimai are among the sites the group is anticipated to inspect.

"We will honor all the findings and recommendations the team of experts will come out with," Governor Nyaribo stated over the phone with People Daily.

We can't let other political side shows derail us and destroy this ambition because, as leaders, we've decided that our country desperately needs a university. According to Governor Nyaribo, "We anticipate having our first university intake starting in September of this year."
