Gatundu South MP Gabriel Kagombe now wants ttudents from arid areas studying in Kiambu County to leave and study in their place.
Gatundu South Member of Parliament (MP) Gabriel Kagombe has proposed that primary school pupils should only transition to secondary schools located in their respective counties.
Kagombe lamented that students from other regions were being accepted into Kiambu county schools, depriving local students of opportunities.
He claimed that the pattern had made it difficult for Kiambu to receive CDF funding since other counties had used money intended for education for other purposes, leaving Kiambu as the only county with top-notch schools.
The legislator claimed that parents and guardians choose Kiambu schools since the county administration has made significant investments in education by constructing schools and classrooms.
Kagombe pushed regional leaders to establish schools in their regions while pushing for the one-man, one-shilling revenue-sharing model.
He specifically cited politicians in arid regions who said they were living opulently and constructing fine homes at the expense of funding public education in their counties.

The lawmaker, who appeared irritated, then told the kids from the aforementioned places studying in Kiambu to leave and stated he didn’t mind if they studied in their counties under a tree.
“In Kiambu, our secondary schools are teaching students from other areas because we have the quarter system. Leaders in those areas don’t use CDF money to build schools because they know they will send their students to Kiambu.
Their job is to use the money to build personal houses and big malls in Eastleigh. We are saying everyone must study at their respective places.
It is said that our students get 350 marks but can’t be absorbed in a school in Kiambu,” said Kagombe.
