The Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) has threatened to spearhead the 'mother of all demonstrations' if the government fails to increase and disburse capitation to all schools in the next month.
In a press briefing on Sunday, July 27, the DCP Deputy Party Leader, Cleophas Malala, claimed that the party will not allow schools to reopen for the third term if the government fails to disburse the funds to all institutions in the next four weeks.
Malala cautioned that the reduction and delay of school capitation, which he labelled as a "life-threatening decision," will affect the operations of the schools, in addition to denying thousands of students across the country quality education. "That is a life-threatening decision that this regime is committing, and we are going to put up a mother of all demonstrations, and so we urged the government to disburse the remaining capitation money before opening day," Malala said.
