Nandi County Senator Samson Cherargei has waded into the debate of the National Treasury not allocating funds for national examinations, backing the government's decision.
Taking to social media on Sunday, the Senator brought up that even during previous administrations like Mwai Kibaki's, when primary school education was free, the examinations were paid for by parents.
However, Cherargei proposed that vulnerable children could have the examination fees waived so that they could access the same resources as their more able students. "Even under Former President Kibaki's administration during free Primary Education (FPE), he did not pay for exam fees; that's a fact," he stated.
