Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has accused education officials of misusing up to Sh2 billion in capitation funds and vowed a digital crackdown to stop the theft.
Mudavadi defended the digitisation of the capitation disbursement system, calling it an overdue reform to restore transparency and accountability in school funding. "We have received disturbing reports suggesting that capitation funds have been misappropriated, with some estimates indicating losses of up to Sh2 billion.
This must stop," said Mudavadi.
The new system, developed by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with the Ministry of Information, Communication and the Digital Economy, will track funds down to the school level. "Every education official must be accountable.
