MATIANGI THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB The narrative that the burning of our schools is due to the stringent new rules imposed by cabinet secretary for ministry of Education, hon. Fred Matiang’i is a fallacy. So sad that former prime minister too, opted to apportion blame to the CS. It is absolutely preposterous to claim, a few rules the government incepted to curtail cheating and promote quality and standards of education is now the matchstick striking the schools ablaze.
