Naivasha MP Jane Kihara has dismissed the directive by the Ministry of Education to Chiefs to round up all students who missed out on joining Grade 10, terming it as an exercise in futility.

The vocal MP noted that the country’s education sector was headed to the drains due to poor planning, lack of funding, and poor leadership.
