The newly appointed Cabinet Secretary for Education Prof George Magoha has not delayed in getting his new work moving.
The Cabinet Secretary bashed politicians for involving in the education sector, especially at the university level.
He indicated that more than 10 politicians have sent a number of requests, under less than one month he has been in office, to have universities set in their consistency.
"I can tell you that the short time I have been in the ministry, the request for new university from politicians are over ten.
Now, a politician is not going to teach me how to decide that a university should be somewhere, that one you can take to the bank," Professor Magoha said during the launch of Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) 2019 University report.
He urged university management and scholars to help him fight the war in order to protect the quality of university education as he emphasized quality over quantity.
According to the CS, despite the fact that the constitution says there should be at least a university in every consistency, the same constitution has not specified the time for that to be achieved.
"Yes, the constitution says there should be a university in every constituency but it doesn't say it should be there in X number of years. So, it might take 100 years for that to happen, if it is done properly," he added.
