Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba has slammed allegations that his role in government.
The minister flagged a viral social media post claiming that he had resigned due to the government’s failure to address the ongoing cases of abductions.
According to The flagged post, the Education CS had submitted his resignation letter to President William Ruto because his leadership style did not align with his principles.
The post also outlined that despite Ogamba’s efforts to ensure access to education for all Kenyans, President Ruto’s administration had purportedly failed to uphold citizens’ basic rights and dignity.
The post further depicted the CS criticising the government over abductions, disappearances, and killings, claiming that such actions had left countless families in anguish and fear.
“With a heavy heart, but with a clear conscience, I stand before you today to announce my resignation as the Cabinet Secretary for Education. This decision has not come lightly, but I must take it to remain true to my values, principles, and unwavering commitment to the people of Kenya,” read part of the flagged post.
“As a leader, I have a responsibility to stand for what is right and to advocate for the values that underpin our Constitution—justice, equality, and the protection of human rights. When the government I serve fails to uphold these values, I must take a stand.”
The Education CS has since termed the allegations false and misleading. He urged Kenyans to be cautious of fake X accounts purporting to represent him. “Beware of a fake X account purporting to be the Cabinet Secretary for Education,” Ogamba wrote.
Ogamba’s clarification came hours after the Head of Government Delivery Services Peter Mbae resigned citing unresolved issues raised to the Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service Felix Koskei.
