Mathioya member of parliament The Honorable Dr Edwin Mugo is the newest doctorate holder in town.
He notes,
“Today is the happiest day in my life.
I am deeply honoured to have been awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD), the highest degree a university can offer. This achievement stands as a testament to the power of education and the endless possibilities it brings.
As I stand on this milestone, I am reminded of the transformative journey we have embarked upon together in Mathioya Constituency.
My unwavering love for education has not only driven my achievements but has also enabled me to set high standards for my team and students in Mathioya. I firmly believe that education is the key to unlocking potential, regardless of one’s background. It confirms that with dedication and perseverance, the highest levels of education are attainable.
It’s for this reason that I am motivated to pay school fees for at least two needy students on each single day. I have over 200 needy students across Mathioya sub-county currently under my personal sponsorship.
In our pursuit of excellence, I have strived to lead by example. By emphasizing the value of education, we have created a community where dreams are nurtured and ambitions are realized. It is not just about achieving degrees; it is about fostering a culture of learning, resilience, and compassion.
Looking forward, I am eager to embrace the next level of my academic journey, aspiring to become an associate professor and eventually a full professor. This aspiration mirrors our collective commitment to continuous growth in learning. Just as I have been supported in reaching this milestone, I am dedicated to supporting others on their educational paths.
Our focus on education in Mathioya Constituency is not merely about acquiring knowledge; it is about empowerment, inclusivity, and opportunity. We believe that every individual, regardless of their circumstances, deserves access to quality education. It is this belief that drives us to set the bar high, ensuring that our children and future leaders are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
As I reflect on this progress, I am filled with gratitude for the unwavering support of our community, the dedication of our teachers and the resilience of our students. Together, we have proven that education knows no bounds and that with a steadfast spirit, we can achieve greatness.
In closing, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to all who have been part of this incredible journey. Let us continue to inspire, educate and uplift one another, paving the way for a brighter and more educated future for Mathioya Constituency and beyond.
Hon. Dr. Edwin Mugo Gichuki, PhD.
