A long standing challenge of overcrowded public schools in Ongata Rongai has received a major boost following the official opening of Ole Pasha Comprehensive Primary School in Ongata Rongai Ward, Kajiado North Constituency.
The new school, fully funded by National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), was officially opened on January 8 by Kajiado North Member of Parliament Onesmus Ngogoyo. The facility was established as a response to rapid population growth in the area, which had left the community relying on few public primary schools, resulting in severe congestion and stretched learning resources.
Ole Pasha Comprehensive Primary School is expected to significantly ease pressure on existing schools by providing additional classrooms and learning space for pupils. Beyond infrastructure, the institution offers relief to parents and creates a more dignified, supportive environment where learners can study comfortably and safely.

The event brought together national and county leaders, highlighting broad support for education development in the region. Among those in attendance were Kajiado County Senator Kanar Seki and Ongata Rongai Member of County Assembly (MCA) Titus Matheka, alongside other leaders, education stakeholders and members of the local community.
The commissioning of Ole Pasha Comprehensive Primary School marks a significant milestone for Ongata Rongai, offering a practical solution to overcrowding while laying a strong foundation for improved education outcomes in Kajiado North.
