Basic Education Principal Secretary Julius Bitok has blamed school heads who have yet to submit their school's data for verification for the delay in capitation disbursement.
Speaking on Sunday, Bitok relayed that only 3,000 schools of the 22,000 total had received their capitation because the auditing process was still ongoing.
The audit was ordered by the Auditor General and Members of Parliament after it was discovered that billions were lost in school capitation payments to non-existent schools.
Principals and sub-county Directors of Education are expected to submit the data for verification to ensure the incident does not recur.
