Mbadi: Government can no longer sustain free education

Tonight, the government is saying it can no longer fully fund free education in public primary and secondary schools. Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi says the financial burden is too heavy for the state to sustain, forcing a cut in capitation funding. This development could push parents to dig deeper into their pockets at a time when the education sector is already in the thick of controversy due to the discovery of ghost schools and problems such as unpaid debts, among other challenges.
