Matiang'i's education mission

Education minister Dr Fred Matiang'i now says several universities may be shut down in the New Year for offering substandard education. The CS says an audit of the universities had so far shown that some were admitting unqualified students for degree courses hinting that some degree certificates may also be revoked in future as their holders did not meet the requirements to pursue the said courses.
Matiangi made the remarks in a wide ranging interview with Citizen TV’s Sam Gituku. We began by asking him what he thought about the comparisons being made between him and Tanzanian President John Pombe Magufuli.
Citizen TV is Kenya's leading television station commanding an audience reach of over 60% and in its over 12 years of existence as a pioneer brand for the Royal Media Services (RMS), it has set footprints across the country leaving no region uncovered.

Wow!! I never knew that there could be an existence of such a humble and a wholehearted servant in such a country! God bless you more Matiangi

[@HESBONLUKHUBI-hm2sp]

"Alaa! You are going into my personal things." I am to see that mood from a no nonsense man.

[@RB3565]

God bless your hearts our prez, dp, jubilee, Kenyans and cs Matiangi.

[@bwaithaka]

This guy is a rare jewel. Very smart, hands-on, God-fearing and he is a humble servant. By the time he left University of New York he knew he was going back home to work not to just sit in the office reading newspapers. He brings home that work ethic. Very proud of him. I just felt like Sam was very intruding on his personal life towards the end. I mean, he has already made his stand regarding privacy. Get with it! Thank you

[@natiiveson4846]

+bwaithaka, Agreed!

[@MzeeMoja1]

This man is a blessing to Kenya.

[@edwinkariuki1338]

every person has his right of opinion. i respect yours. wisdom is a good tool to those who own some. It is not for everyone and so i can not blame you mzee moja.

[@sidibaya]

I am glad that there is finally light at the end of the tunnel in the Kenyan educational system. Job well done Minister !

[@sidibaya]

I like the hands on approach. This needs to be present in all Ministries.

[@rubansivincent1348]

this is a hero

[@edwinlusame22]

Hi Mheshimiwa, with school fees capped at 53000 Ksh per year per student by the ministry, some public schools have opted to loot from parents in the name of school development kitty. Last year, I paid a total of 23000ksh above the 53000ksh per year. As if this is not enough this year its has been made a must to pay 20000ksh for the same kitty.Students are sent away if their parents have not paid for fundraiser and I'm worried because the deadline to clear this years fundraiser is on 7/7/2018 and I'm not in a position to pay and I may find my son at home. This school operates two accounts numbers one for equity (for the fundraiser)and the other for the official school fees which is a KCB account. The schools name is Moi Boys High school Mbiruri-Runyenjes

[@kabugimaina9153]

[@patrickmulei3812]

An under-utilized human resource and public servant.

[@bismarcklangat6532]

My president,2027

[@edwinkariuki1338]

Education in our country has stake holders. It should not be made a one man's show. Funny enough, kenyans' eyes will open up, but too late. my right of opinion.

[@j84255]

great interview but i feel the interviewer stressed too much about personal issues

[@natiiveson4846]

+Jason Paul, Agreed. I think we (the society) dwell too much on superficial things like one's personal life, one's lifestyle, what house you live in, what car you drive, where your children go to school e.t.c. instead of one's moral character and moral set up. This man is clearly driven by a certain set of moral values and it is that very aspect that we lack as a country. had he given the interviewer information on what he loves- sijui playing polo, drinking busaa, going to whatever night club e.t.c., that nonsense could have overshadowed the great things he has done in the ministry. The media could have come up with crazy and useless headlines like: News headline: CS Matiang'i loves playing polo, drives a VW Jetta! Then the newspapers could have written acres on non important issues. No one cares what one drives or what sport he plays. There was a lot this guy could have asked. For example, as the Information Technology cabinet secretary, he fought the media cartels during the digital migration era but this guy didn't ask one question about it.This way, we'd have got to learn about the man more as well as what drives him. He missed a chance.

[@timothycarlos3307]

But now he wants to put President, President alot. President could have told Waiguru too how to work. You have done this yourself and stop giving President who is corrupt credit.

[@arafatnoor8510]

Timothy Carlos very true indeed Uhuru is using him as a campaign tool

[@RB3565]

Timothy Carlos Ojinga ni kitu mbaya sana.

[@jeremyclyde3006]

He is only doing his job well. And he is clearly grateful to the president for the chance. The other CS lakini... wezi wezi wezi

[@natiiveson4846]

You, sir, are an idiot!

[@natiiveson4846]

You too, sir, are an idiot- just like the Carlos you support! Upuzi!

[@IntegrityEP365-ICTV]

Waziri you are a self smart guy, achana na kuuza Uhuru who has failed. if it is president who is telling you, why has he not told other Cabinet members? We love you but dont use your strenth to campaignFor Uhuru. You are one guy whom citizens can shout even in the new coming government you be appointed to serve. wacha kuimbaimba Uhuru

[@bwaithaka]

He is very smart. I can see why he says he is serving The president. So many cabinet secretaries do not go far because they begin self vgloryfication laban baigwa
