Githunguri Member of Parliament, Gathoni Wamuchomba, has criticised the Kenya Kwanza government for delaying HELB disbursements and mishandling the education sector after receiving distressing calls from students from universities.
In a statement on Wednesday, May 14, she shared an example of students from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology(JKUAT) who called her office after being denied access to exam rooms. "The Kenya Kwanza government has failed to safeguard the future of Kenya's youthful population.
Messing up education is a clear indication of a failed governance system," Wamuchomba stated. "The delays in remitting capitation and HELB indicate all is not well, yet the CS for Education and the ministry keep giving false hopes even in Parliament," she added.
