National Assembly majority leader Kimani Ichung’wah Wednesday tore into the Ministry of Education, blaming it of "weak leadership, political posturing and failure to fix systemic inefficiencies hurting learners".

The CS should be telling this House the truth, that it is up to the Education Committee and the Budget Committee to ensure adequate funding and equitable distribution.”Drawing from his own constituency experience, Ichung’wah argued that equal sharing of funds is inherently unfair. Ichung’wah lamented the collapse of effective school inspection, arguing that MPs have been forced to step in where ministry officials have failed.
