Some Sh800,000 allocated to four special schools in Kapchemutwa ward, Keiyo North Sub- County has lying idle in the County's accounts since 2018.
During the 2018/19 financial year, about seven years ago, residents of Kapchemutwa ward allocated Sh800,000 to the four special schools located in the ward during a public participation exercise for budgetary allocations.
The Iten school for the visually impaired, Bugar, Mindililwo and Kobil special schools were each to get Sh200,000, however, for 7 years down the line, the funds have remained dormant at the county's account as financial years rolled over one after the other.
According to the Kapchemutwa MCA, Stephen Cheruiyot, the monies which were meant for capitation for ECD learners could not be accessed as the county had not passed any law or capitation policy. "The controller of budget cannot release funds if there is no law to appropriate money to a certain vote," he said.
