Teachers have criticized the government for the mismanagement of capitation funds.
Through their representatives from the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), they are demanding an explanation from the Ministry of Education regarding the recent disbursement of Sh22 billion for term two, which they described as a mystery for the learners.
Bomet KNUT Executive Secretary Desmond Langat and Trans Mara counterpart Willy Korir condemned the delayed release of the funds and the inadequate amounts allocated to some schools. "Imagine some school managers receive Sh 85 or Sh 1,000, while others get Sh 4,000, despite having a school population of over 1,000.
Is that capitation or just enough for lunch or airtime?
