Counties have no capacity to manage education sector, says Narok South MP Korei ole Lemein

Narok South MP Korei ole Lemein wants the education function to be centralised on grounds that counties have no capacity to manage the unit.

Mr Lemein said the counties left on their own may not succeed in managing education should it be devolved as suggested by some governors. The legislator, accompanied by his Narok West counterpart Patrick Ntutu in opening two classes built by CDF at Olenkuluo Primary School, said CDF had contributed to 80 per cent improvement of education structures in the country.

“As Members of Parliament, we will not allow the counties to manage education. Health, which is devolved, is now being run down as compared to when it was under central government,” said Lemein.
