Headteachers in Turkana County have threatened to paralyse learning activities starting this week should the government fail to disburse adequate capitation.
Addressing the press on Tuesday at noon, the Kenya Secondary School Heads Association (KESSHA) Chairperson, Turkana branch, Raphael Lotum said that most schools in the region were grappling with huge debts due to insufficient and delayed funding.
He explained that the delays in releasing the capitation will force some school heads to close their institutions and send students home as they wait for the government's intervention.
According to him, while some schools already received capitation, the amount disbursed to most schools in the region was not enough to cater for their needs including repayment of debts.
