Education CS Kaimenyi’s close shave as angry MPs’ bid flops

Prof Jacob Kaimenyi, the dental medicine scholar of international repute to whom President Uhuru entrusted the Education docket, confronted a personal experience, which must have brought home the literal meaning of the English expression, ‘surviving by the skin of one’s teeth’.
