Born from a humble background, Murang'a MP Sabina Chege involvement in the community won praise after she brought tens of leaders to support her educational project.

 Bishop Gatimu Kinyona Girls started in 2015 was the subject after leaders led by Amani National Congress (ANC) Musalia Mudavadi trooped to Kinyona village where they raised millions of shillings to support the school.

 President Uhuru Kenyatta through Kieni MP Kanini Kega gave five million shillings, while Musalia poured praise to Chege for being a candid leader who has stood with her people despite the national responsibility on her shoulders.

Kirinyaga Goverdnor Annie Waiguru pledged Sh500,000, while the women leaders gave Sh 700,000 in support of the school.

 The leaders who included Senator Moses Wetangula, Narc Kenya Leader Martha Karua, MPs Kanini Kega, Wanjiku Kibe, Naisura Lesuuda poured praise of Chege as they pleaded with Murang’a people to support her bid to be the second Governor in Murang’a,

The endorsement of Chege came barely a  week after Deputy President William Ruto declared senator Irungu Kang’ata as the best to be the Governor  in the next year general election.

The school lacks dormitories where students are accommodated in classrooms and eat in the open due to lack of a dining space.

 The agenda to construct the girls’ school was mooted in 1972 by the late colonial chief Njirii wa Karanja when he requested the late Bishop of Nyeri Diocese Caesar Gatimu to put up a girl’s school in Kinyona area.

 The agenda remained on the shelves until 2010 when Kangari Parish In charge Father Elias Muriithi kicked off the journey 38 years later and formed a committee to spearhead the move.

 It started off in 2016 with 16 students where in the three students managed university entry grades in their KCSE.

Chege said the learners have dubbed their eating area as “open air dining hall”, while some classrooms have been portioned to serve as a food store, library, and administration block.

“The students are yet to get the high school dormitory standards but they have been working hard to realise their dream.
