Delays in the release of capitation and government funding to schools, TVET institutions and public universities have been blamed on budget shortfalls and delayed Exchequer disbursements from the National Treasury.
Appearing before the National Assembly, Julius Migos Ogamba said the Ministry of Education is not withholding funds but is grappling with a funding deficit of nearly KSh29 billion as budget allocations fall below the sector's financial needs. He added that the ministry is exploring alternative revenue streams while seeking increased budgetary allocations to bridge the gap.
