Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba is in a spot over facilitation of school children participating in the ongoing music festivals.

Members of the National Assembly were yesterday unsatisfied with assertions by CS Ogamba that the ministry was footing the bill for pupils and students in the Kenya Music Festivals, as well as recently concluded ball games.

Ogamba, who skipped a plenary appearance, said his ministry funded such co-curricular activities through the capitation disbursed to primary and junior secondary fees.

In a statement to the National Assembly, he said every primary school child received Sh76 annually, an allocation meant to fund their participation in sports and performing arts events.
