MUMIAS EAST MP PETER SALASYA CELEBRATES MILESTONE AS 44TH MODERN TOILET BLOCK NEARS COMPLETION AT SHISENYA PRIMARY SCHOOL, DECLARES VICTORY OVER POOR SANITATION AND PROMISES DIGNITY, HEALTH, AND CONFIDENCE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya has announced that the construction of the 44th modern toilet block in his constituency is now 98% complete at Shisenya Primary School, marking a historic win in the fight against poor sanitation in local learning institutions.
The new facility, fully tiled and fitted with a boys’ urinal, is designed to last more than a century without inconveniencing learners. Salasya noted that Shisenya Primary had long endured the shame of inadequate sanitation, but with the near completion of the new toilet block, pupils can now enjoy an environment of dignity, comfort, and improved hygiene.
“This is not just about a toilet, it is about dignity, health, and giving our children an environment where they can dream without distraction,” said the legislator. “When a school has proper sanitation, confidence grows, discipline is maintained, and education flourishes.”
The MP emphasized that his deliberate focus is on transforming Mumias East schools into the most habitable and dignified learning spaces in the country, contrasting his approach with leaders who he said prefer “cutting ribbons on borrowed projects.”
Salasya stressed that true greatness in education begins with foundational investments in basic facilities. “A child cannot aim for the stars when he is busy searching for a bush. Let us build dignity first, then greatness will follow,” he said.
The Shisenya Primary project forms part of Salasya’s broader legacy plan of laying strong, durable infrastructure in schools across Mumias East, ensuring that future generations benefit from modern, safe, and lasting facilities.
