National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has assured school heads that the government will disburse Sh48.8 billion as capitation to their schools next week.
Mbadi said this would be half of the capitation to schools this academic year and that the rest will be paid out as the year advances.
He said the delay in disbursements had been occasioned by lack of adequate funds due to debt challenges the country is currently facing. "Therefore, schools, please don't worry.
I am giving you my word that Sh48.8 billion for capitation will be in your school accounts because we are releasing it next week," Mbadi told journalists in Garsen constituency Thursday.
