Watching officials fumble basic math regarding school money is basically a national pastime, prompting Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro to threaten mass protests over confusing secondary school capitation. He slammed the recent twenty-six billion shilling disbursement, arguing nobody knows if it covers the twenty-two billion shillings owed from the previous year.
Records indicate that the state shortchanged every learner thousands of shillings across all three terms in 2025. These consistent deficits left schools with massive financial gaps that administrators struggle to fill while waiting for the administration to honor its funding promises to the education sector.
Nyoro warned that principals might force families to pay the difference, which would unfairly bar students from low-income households. He demanded the government release actual cash before the mid-term break or face organized demonstrations from taxpayers who refuse to stay silent while their rights are ignored.
