Imagine a politician making a clear and specific promise before an election then takes a new twist.

The Kenyan voter now believes the feedback they are receiving from the jubilee government was that they were fed up with empty promises after the recent plan to suspend the laptop project and instead build laboratories for the 25,000 schools.

Well it may be a reasonable idea as it had earlier been suggested but the question most voters are asking is why the government never headed educationists advice when they proposed for the laboratories.

Even before the Jubilee government can suspend the project,
Information Communication Technology ministry is currently on the spot about how taxpayers lost Sh16.3 billion through the Class One pupil laptops project.

Schools were allocated Sh60,000 each for securing the laptops.

The Ministry of Education now says it has suspended issuance of tablets to Class One pupils under the digital literacy programme, opting instead to build computer laboratories.

Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang has said that each of the 25,000 public primary schools will get one computer laboratory.

“There has been a policy change in programme from one child-one laptop to the construction of computer laboratories for ICT integration,” Dr Kipsang told National Assembly’s Education Committee while presenting budgetary proposals.

When MPs questioned the plan, Dr Kipsang said that construction of the labs was part of phase two of the project.

Is the Jubilee government serious about taxpayers money?
