The government has announced plans to appeal the High Court ruling that declared as illegal, payment of school fees through the eCitizen platform.
Basic Education Principal Secretary Julius Bitok acknowledged the ruling by Justice Chacha Mwita but confirmed that the Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the Attorney General's office, will appeal the decision. "We will obey the court ruling, but we are going to appeal because eCitizen is a highly transparent platform.
The government's intention was to ensure all payments by parents and stakeholders are clear and accountable," he said.
On Tuesday, the government suffered a setback when the High Court ruled that the directive was unconstitutional.
