*MATIANG'I AND HIS DELOCALIZATION POLICY IS MAIN REASON WHY NYAMBARIA HIGH SCHOOL IN NYAMIRA AND OTHER KISII SCHOOLS HAVE EMERGED TOP IN THE KCSE 2022 EXAM*
By Mwalimu Amunga Akhanyalabandu
It's not true that Schools in Kisii cheated in the last exam. I can bear witness as an Education expert that the leaders in Kisii have been investing and plotting carefully on how to ensure their schools pass exams.
For example; delocalization policy was a brain child of Fred Matiang'i then CS EDUCATION and Interior with advise from the NSIS to destabilise teacher unions and stop teacher strikes led by Sossion.
Matiang'i then took advantage of delocalization policy to poach the best principals across Kenya and lumped them in schools in his larger kisii region and his Nyamira home.
One such principal is the Nyambaria boys principal Mr. BOAZ OLOO OWINO who was poached from Maranda High at a time when Maranda was top school in Kenya.
Matiang'i via delocalization pushed out of Kisii region local principals some who had become local almighties and who were not adding value. Principals like O***a the current Kakamega high guy were thrown out of Kisii for poor performances while great luo and Luhya teachers and principals were taken to head schools like Nyanbaria.
Learners at Maranda went on strike burning dorms when their principal BOAZ was transferred, but Matiang'i stuck to his guns by ensuring Boaz landed at Nyambaria.
Matiangi then went ahead and EQUIPPED HIS VILLAGE SCHOOL OF NYAMBARIA with modern facilities, teachers, diet, dorms etc. Matiang'i would personally supervise the school every weekend and he reorganised the board of the school. He made his brother one John Matiang'i the BOM CHAIR. JOHN is also an educationist whom I worked with at KNUT HQS and currently CEC education in Nyamira county.
So, Nyambaria High School did not just wake up to lead in KCSE. It has improved drastically since the arrival of Boaz from Maranda. It has had a positive deviation of 1
