Kiharu Member of Parliament and People’s Party leader Ndindi Nyoro has taken a sharp swipe at the current administration over state expenditure, promising a major overhaul of the national budget to achieve free public education.
Speaking during a political engagement, the lawmaker criticized what he described as financial wastefulness at State House, claiming that billions of shillings are being deployed inappropriately to gain political influence.
Nyoro asserted that a united opposition alliance would redirect those resources toward funding critical public services.
Specifically, he pledged to trim at least 15 billion shillings from allocations designated for executive influence and political patronage.
He noted that reallocating these funds directly into the national treasury would unlock sufficient capital to finance universal basic education without imposing additional tax burdens on citizens.
Under the proposed plan, Nyoro promised that starting in January 2028, all students across Kenya would access free basic education without being required to pay any tuition or additional levies.
Addressing the public as the true employers and stakeholders of the nation, he emphasized that access to schooling should be guaranteed for every child regardless of their socioeconomic status.
The remarks come amid growing debates surrounding government spending and budget priorities.
By connecting executive cost-cutting directly to social sector investments like education, opposition figures are attempting to present concrete policy alternatives to voters.
Political observers note that Nyoro’s explicit focus on reallocating state expenditure sets up a key campaign battleground centered on governance, fiscal accountability, and public service delivery ahead of the upcoming electoral cycle.
