Luanda constituency will construct 270 classrooms by 2016 through the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) at an estimated cost of Sh108 million. MP Chris Omulele said the move is meant to provide a good learning environment for the students and at the same time, ease the burden of paying levies for the construction of classes by parents.

Speaking at Khumuseno Primary School after opening a set of new classrooms in various schools, Mr Omulele said the CDF Board had decided to build classrooms owing to the fact many were in bad condition. "The initiative will see each school get three ultramodern classes fully funded by CDF. Already, 130 classes have been constructed and hopefully by 2016, we will have achieved our target of constructing 270 classrooms," the MP said.
