Murang'a and Mandera counties just made history in Kenya. They became the first local areas to run student money programs themselves. These counties signed papers with education officials that let them handle cash once managed by national leaders. This frees up billions that stayed locked when Budget Controller Nyakango froze payments. She claimed counties needed special permission for school aid.

Education Secretary Ogamba called this change great news for students who need help paying for school. Governor Kang'ata from Murang'a said he will stop fighting Nyakango in court about the money issue. He asked her to say yes to county money requests quickly so students can pay their fees. Governor Khalif thinks students in Mandera will see better service with local control. The deal shows how different parts of government can team up to solve problems.

More counties might copy this plan after watching what happens next. The agreement fixes who can give out school money to families. Local leaders can help students without asking for each step to be approved elsewhere. Families waiting for help should see faster results. Students might start receiving money much sooner than before.
