Treasury CS John Mbadi has revealed that the Teachers' Service Commission (TSC) and school capitation funds are among the key areas under review in the ongoing International Monetary Fund (IMF) anti-corruption diagnostic mission to Kenya.
Speaking during a discussion on Saturday, June 4, Mbadi revealed that the government had requested the IMF diagnostic as part of its efforts to strengthen public financial management and root out graft.
IMF was already in the country and concluded the diagnostic on June 30, with the final report expected in October 2025. ''We feel education, which is taking the largest chunk of our budget, needs to be looked into in terms of strengthening the systems.
Capitation: Are we paying for students who are in school, or are we paying for students who exist on paper?'' Mbadi said.
