Matiang’i and Munya criticize government over education rollout and tax burden

Jeff: Jubilee deputy party leader Fred Matiang’i has criticized President William Ruto’s administration over what he termed as neglect in the implementation of the competency-based curriculum, arguing that the programme requires a dedicated principal secretary to oversee its rollout and ensure that emerging challenges affecting learners are addressed promptly. Olive: Speaking at M.C.K Makutano Church in Meru County, Matiang’i said mismanagement and wastage of public funds are contributing to indiscipline in some schools, noting that many principals lack adequate resources to meet students’ needs and effectively manage institutions. Jeff: At the same time, PNU party leader Peter Munya accused the government of overburdening Kenyans with taxes, saying the opposition would seek to reduce the tax burden if elected.
