Kaiti MP Joshua Kimilu has threatened to rally fellow lawmakers to boycott parliamentary proceedings if the national exams are not allocated funds in the upcoming national budget.
Addressing residents in his home county of Makueni, Kimilu decried the Treasury's decision to allocate zero funds to the education sector, warning that the move risked jeopardising the future of Kenyan children. "President Ruto, we have seen that money has been removed from the education budget.
That money must be returned; failure to which the parliamentary sittings will not proceed,'' he said.
The MP stressed the importance of education, noting that children must be allowed to sit national exams without disruption, and urged the government to prioritise funding to avoid a crisis.
