Crisis in secondary schools over delayed capitation

Secondary school principals are warning of serious management challenges due to delayed disbursement of capitation funds. They say only ksh 4,000 per student has been released, far below the required ksh 8,000 for this term. The ministry of education was expected to have disbursed ksh 28 billion by this time, representing 50% of total capitation funds. a month after the school term began, only ksh 14 billion has been made available. As emily chebet reports, school principals have raised concerns about system failures, with some students not properly captured, leading to reduced disbursements for certain schools.
