Ugunja lawmaker Opiyo Wandayi is set to file an impeachment motion against Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i in an event that Siaya county students fail their national examinations.
The MP has accused Matiang'i of interdicting education officials in the county who participated in the issuance and invigilation of the banned mock examinations in earlier this month without listening to their side of the story contrary to the Fair Administrative act of 2015.
"We hold him personally responsible. I am putting Matiangi on notice that upon receipt of any unsatisfactory results of the 2016 KCPE examinations, I will be leading the people of Siaya County in instituting prompt and severe legal proceedings against him and the Jubilee Administration.I will also concurrently sponsor a motion of impeachment against him in the National Assembly at that time," Wandayi is quoted by the Star
Wandayi also accused the CS of wrongly replacing the interdicted officials with others citing that they might have been deliberately put on the sidelines awaiting opportunities to fill up the positions.
"Worse still, the said officials have been curiously and promptly replaced by persons who could only have been positioned strategically on the sidelines awaiting the opportunities to be availed,"
"This is unacceptable and we demand that Matiang'i rescinds this decision immediately and unconditionally," the ODM political affairs secretary said.
The exam was sponsored by the Siaya county government and the papers had a portrait of Governor Cornelius Rasanga.
