Good evening colleagues. I trust you are well.

This is to inform you that on 29th May 2026, the County Director of Education, Embu County, invited ECPDA to a stakeholders’ meeting by the County Education Board.

This was a daylong meeting at Kangaru School and the meeting was convened to help find a solution to the issue of unrest in our secondary schools.

ECPDA was represented in the meeting by Vice Chair Ms.Rita Wahome, Runyenjes Zone Rep Dr. Jeremiah Ireri, Dr. Mary Calmen Mugane and Ms. Dorothy Murugi.

As per request by CDE, ECPDA prepared a written submission detailing possible causes of the unrests, and recommendations on how to address the same.

I wish to thank Hon Secretary Dr Peter Muchanje, Rita Wahome, Dr Jeremiah Ireri, Dr Mary C Mugane and the caucus of Emeritus Chairpersons for helping to put together ECPDA’s submission.

*Breakfast Meeting with Innovative Africa*

On a different matter, ECPDA held a breakfast meeting with a Not-For-Profit Organization by the name *Innovate Africa*, to explore the possibility of collaborating on community matters.

Among the different initiatives that Innovate Africa pursues, one of them is to work with professional associations to empower and create positive impacts to communities in Kenya.

They have identified ECPDA as a potential partner for future collaboration and yesterday’s meeting was meant to help both organizations to understand
each other better and identify how we can potentially collaborate.

The discussions will continue and we shall keep you updated and even potentially call upon you to help identify the areas that we can focus on if the discussions get to the next level.

The Chairman was honoured to be accompanied 13 esteemed members in the photos below for the meeting very early in the morning….
