Education CS Fred Matiang’i. [Photo|NMG]President Uhuru Kenyatta's most praised CS Dr Fred Matiangi has over the last five years been praised for nothing while all the other CSs fell asleep.National Assembly Minority Leader John Mbadi is wondering what Matiang'i has done to deserve such praise. "Education CS Fred Matiang'i is being praised, for what? A minister is supposed to come up with clear policies to safeguard education. We only see the emotional reaction to exam cheating," Mbadi says via an opinion piece in the Star on Wednesday.He adds: "That should not occupy a ministerial mind for even a month but this minister has been preoccupied for five years. Cheating should be curbed by examination officers, it can't be curbed by state policy."On the economic front, he says Kenya is burdened by huge debt exposure as a result of unchecked borrowing that has not been spent productively.He points out at Eurobond issues, where he says the government could not properly account for funds by identifying particular development projects funded by borrowing."This is reckless, irresponsible.You cannot just say you borrowed money for general budgetary support," he says.He goes on to rant about unfulfilled promises from 10,000km tarmacked roads which he says he can't see, failed devolution to failed healthcare among other issues.
