Education in the Jubilee Government blueprint

Following the March 4th General elections, Kenya is now settling into the new structure of Government. The country is now governed at two levels: the National and County level. As a result, government functions are now being executed at the two levels of governance, including the education sector.

 

The Constitution of Kenya 2010 entrenches education as a right of every person under Article 43 (1) f. Article 53 (1) b, further recognises that every child has the right to free and compulsory basic education.

Stop this parliamentary tyranny, greed and impunity now!

PRESS STATEMENT

It is in the public interest that we the undersigned civil society organizations formally make this statement concerning the on-going spirited campaign mounted by the Kenyan MPs against the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (the SRC) demanding for a salary increment and threatening the removal from office of the SRC Commissioners from office.  We are deeply concerned and disappointed that at a time when Kenyans are looking for a break from the past, legislators drawn from both houses of Parliament are hell-bent on increasing their salaries through threats and arm-twisting tactics that go against the constitutional standards of behaviour demanded of both public and state officers.   The timing and show of collective greed is in total disregard of the values and principles of the constitution regarding the management of and the governance over public resources as enshrined in Articles 1, 2, 10, 73, 74, 75, 94, 95, 96, 116, 201, 206 and 230.
