Busia County will put up 105 more early childhood classrooms this financial year. The county has already built 184 under the current administration. Trade CECM Olakacuna Omuse made the announcement on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at a fundraiser in Malaba North Ward.
Omuse said the 184 classrooms went up after Governor Paul Otuoma took office. The county now targets more than 300 classrooms over five years. The projects will cover all 35 wards.
He also said the county opens and maintains about 15 kilometres of roads in each ward every year.
The fundraiser was organised by KNUT Teso Branch at Jairos. Its goal is to raise Sh205 million. The money would upgrade Teso Teachers’ Dispensary into a Level Four hospital. Teachers, their families, and residents of Teso and nearby areas would be served.
Busia gubernatorial aspirant Arthur Amug Osiya was the chief guest. He commended teachers for raising funds for the project. He accused past county administrations of neglecting healthcare. He said shortages of supplies and poor facilities have forced residents to travel to neighbouring counties for treatment.
Osiya pledged to make the hospital operational if he wins the governorship in the 2027 General Election.
KNUT National Executive Council Member II Maurice Chalenga and Teso Branch Executive Secretary Geoffrey Ekasiba attended the event. Busia KUPPET Chairman Jimmy Omaset credited Osiya with installing solar power in more than 60 schools. He also said Osiya supported the union’s annual general meeting.
Other guests included Angurai North MCA Patrick Omanyala, former nominated MCA Halimah Hussein, UDA Busia Chairman Maurice Chetambe, and Angurai South MCA aspirant Bethwell Isokat.
