Ongeri pleads innocence over funds disappearance

http://www.ntv.co.ke The ministry of education is finally speaking out days after the British department for international development DFID blew off the lid on a multi-million scam involving free education funds. Embattled education minister professor Sam Ongeri emerged and pleaded innocence over the disappearance of nearly 100 million shillings meant for free primary schooling. The minister called a press conference this afternoon during which he had a rough time attempting to come up with answers. Robert Nagila reports on a scandal that has already seen one of the directors of education suspended.

now these men should be tried and taken to jail. i believe this issue is as big as the mau if not bigger and should be treated with such seriousness. we can not allow our own leaders to plunge our children to the oblivion of ignorance. and for those responsible why if you are willing to deny this right to other children you should start with yours IDIOTS

GULLIBLE MEDIA.... in most countries it is NOT the public that keeps pressure on leaders, it is the media. Look at the UK. Look at America. Why do leaders resign? The media HOUND them... and do not lay off scandals easily. I pray that it will be different this time round. That the media will keep the heat UNTIL and NOT BEFORE the issue gets resolved....

IT will NOT be history though if our media was to keep pushing this to the forefront. Imagine all those scandals the media forgot to keep a tab on....

Wajinga ... Mnaiba pesa za elimu for nothing so that you send your kids abroad ... FORKO JEMBEZ ...

Nothing new, everyone will deny knowing anything, sacrifice few junior officers, move kenyans in circles and soon its all forgotten. Uhuru seems to know but the minister in charge of the ministry dont know???? Something else will come up and all this will be history yet the poor kids will not have basics in their classes.

chinese style justice

one bullet in the neck

is the solution

In an ideal world they would be given 1 month to recover the money or get sacked with no benefits. Ongeri is clearly sleeping on the job if he just found out about something that has been in the media for such a long time.

@K Read his lips! Quilty as rumoured!

Blame game begins now and soon all be quiet! Gullible public!

Another man down! But down should not be the worst that could happen to these baffoons! Theft of epic proportion such as that one being covered-up by this fool should be allaigned in court, with a view to death by a million cuts passing! OK, maybe a hefty prison sentence then. Children will go without a basic human want, as we cover these stories to a point of oblivion. Next thing you know, it is no longer spoken about anymore. I need not give examples.
