Speaking during a public engagement, Salasya argued that education reforms are important. They must be anchored within Parliament. This will ensure transparency, accountability, and nationwide impact.
He insisted that meaningful change in the education sector requires formal legislative channels. It cannot be achieved through public pronouncements or policy advocacy outside the House.
Salasya’s remarks were widely interpreted as a direct response to Ndindi Nyoro’s recent statements and initiatives on education funding, student support, and school infrastructure.
Nyoro is a former chair of the National Assembly Budget and Appropriations Committee. He has been vocal on education matters. He often links fiscal discipline with improved learning outcomes.
According to Salasya, Parliament remains the only legitimate platform where competing ideas can be debated openly and translated into enforceable laws.
If you have proposals that can transform education, bring them to Parliament where all elected representatives can scrutinize, improve, and pass them for the benefit of all Kenyans,” he said.

The Mumias MP also cautioned against personalizing national policy debates, warning that sidelining Parliament weakens democratic institutions.
He urged lawmakers to prioritize collective responsibility over individual political branding. This is especially important on sensitive issues such as education that affect millions of families.
Political analysts say the exchange highlights growing tensions among youthful legislators seeking to shape national discourse.
While some view Salasya’s remarks as a push for institutional order, others see them as a political jab at Nyoro’s rising profile and influence within government circles.
Supporters of Ndindi Nyoro, however, argue that his education proposals are already informed by parliamentary experience. They emphasize budgetary oversight. They note that public advocacy complements legislative work rather than replacing it.
They contend that engaging citizens outside Parliament helps build consensus and public pressure for reforms.
As the debate unfolds, education stakeholders, including teachers’ unions, parents, and students, are watching closely. They hope the political sparring will translate into concrete policies. These policies should address funding gaps, teacher shortages, and access to quality education.
Whether through Parliament or public platforms, the spotlight on education reform is unlikely to fade anytime soon.
