The Ministry of Education is on the spot over the whereabouts of 903 million shillings of capitation funds allocated to schools between the years 2020 – 2024, which were never disbursed.

The revelation comes amidst concerns over underfunding of public schools, capitation deficits, and delays in disbursements of the funds crucial for sustaining school operations.
