The MCAs led by Utali ward Patrick Musili said that the move will help in addressing the overwhelming number of children joining county ecde schools.
The Times ,understands that the County government had contracted Desiral company limited in 2017 to construct 17 Ecde centers at atune of Ksh.218 million of which the project was stalled.
Appearing before the education committee on Wednesday 7th, the contractor Winfred Mutua told the oversight committee that the reason behind the delay was that they had payment issues with the county government,with the insecurity at various sites from locals making it impossible for the construction.
“We had challenges in terms of payment,and also insecurity from locals, their were places where youth and goons attacked my workers because they claimed the area Mca had instructed them to do so because we had incorporated them,”Mrs Mutua said.
Mrs Mutua has assured the county government that in the next six months she will complete the job and avail centers for children to get opportunity to study.
