Residents of Kangu in Mwea, Kirinyaga county, are urging the government to build them a primary school in the village as the available ones are too far. John Njera is one of the parents who fears for his children's safety as they have to walk for approximately 6km to and from school. Like other parents, Njera's worry is the busy Embu-Mwea highway as pupils have to cross it to get to school. “The closest school is Nyangati Primary School which is about 2km away. Wanjiku said most parents have to accompany them in the morning and help them cross the highway.
