Kenyans on Thursday took to the social media to congratulate Education CS Fred Matiangi following the release of the 2016 results.
The results had been awaited by many following the stringent measures put in place by the CS following earlier cases of irregularities in the examination council.
The results, which saw famous performing schools cut off more than 200 A’s to a few were praised as others ridiculed schools which performed better last year but nowhere to be seen in this year’s results.
The hashtag 2016KCSE was trending as Kenyans laid their opinions.
“CS Fred Matiangi has set a record as being the only CS who has trended twice in a year and not for CORRUPTION!,” said Simon Mogire.
“Among his many achievements in the education sector, CS Matiangi will be remembered for MAGA-Making “A” Great Again,” said Simon Wachira.
“I cry for the brilliant child who got a genuine B minus a while ago but couldn’t join university because most of his peers cheated,” Added Wachira.
Others went even a step further to call on the president to transfer CS Matiangi to the health sector.
“It is now good job for the education sector. President Uhuru should not move the CS to the health sector to bring sanity,” says Gilbert Too.
“Dr. Matiangi needs a national applause for bringing sanity in our education and being a role model to our leaders,” added George Mirera.
