CS Ogamba issues ultimatum to principals withholding Form Four certificates
Cabinet Secretary for Education Julius Ogamba has delivered a severe warning to Secondary School Principals retaining students’ Form Four certificates due to incomplete payment of school fees.
He mentioned that his office had notified Principals to release the certificates without any conditions, and the timeframe for compliance has lapsed without adherence from the Principals.
“I urge head teachers to comply with that directive immediately when schools reopen,” he stated.
The CS expressed these remarks at Marani Catholic Parish as he joined other leaders, including Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, to fundraise for the construction of the Parish, describing the act as unlawful.
The Deputy President advocated for unity within the nation to ensure that the government can operate effectively and distribute its projects fairly across the country.
He dismissed President Ruto’s critics, asserting that his Kenya Kwanza government has successfully completed numerous projects throughout the nation in just two years and expressed hope for further achievements before the 2026 general elections.
“We acknowledge we have accomplished some positive results since your election of us, yet there are additional tasks remaining that require your patience as we seek to complete them,” he remarked.
The meeting received attendance from several other government officials, including Internal Security CS Kipchumba Murkomen, Majority Leader Kimani Ichungwa, and Kuria MP Mathias Robi.
Present from the Gusii region were MPs such as Senator Richard Onyonka, Japhet Mokaya, Kitutu Chache North MP, Steve Mogaka, West Mugirango MP, Patrick Osero, North Mugirango MP Sylvanus Osoro, South Mugirango, and Kisii County Woman Representative Donya Aburi.
Mathias Rioba emphasized the significance of the Church as it provides spiritual nourishment and solace to all individuals.
Robi noted that the church significantly contributes to the development of schools, augmenting government efforts, and promised to collaborate with the church for that shared goal of progress.
