The government will strengthen the existing school auditing department to ensure proper financial management of public funds.
Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba said auditing of funds given to schools countrywide will continue to be done, noting that the Ministry of Education will receive a whopping Sh702.7 billion, the largest share in the 2025/2026 national budget of Sh4.239 Trillion. "The allocated budget is almost 28 per cent of the entire budget, and we have already surpassed the UNESCO recommendation that 20 percent of a nation's budget be allocated to education.
We will work within that figure.
We will try as much as possible to ensure those resources are utilized optimally and effectively, without undue wastage, to cover the largest number of our students," he stated.
