Opposition leaders have accused the government of neglecting critical education infrastructure and failing to protect learners, arguing that weaknesses in school systems continue to expose students to preventable tragedies.
The remarks come amid growing public concern following recent incidents in learning institutions, including the fire tragedy at Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil that left many families grieving and renewed national debate on school safety standards.
Speaking during a church service in Machakos, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna said the push for increased secondary school transition had not been matched with investments in school infrastructure and safety.
