Punish those sabotaging free secondary school education

In the run-up to the August 8, 2017 General Election, Jubilee's promise to roll out free secondary school education in January 2018 was sweet music to the ears of Kenyans who were weighed down by financial burdens their shallow pockets could barely support.

Taking the heavy burden of school fees away from parents would have enabled them attend to other pressing needs, but it now seems like their expectations are being dashed. The celebration of free secondary education may have been premature for, judging by the complaints so far registered by parents taking their children to join form one, little has changed.
