Confusion arises over capitation disbursements to public schools in Kenya due to conflicting statements from the Ministry of Education and the National Treasury, prompting concerns about funding delays.

• 60 percent of capitation allocation received by schools
• Julius Bitok, Principal Secretary for Basic Education, states remaining funds will be released
• Chris Kiptoo, Treasury Principal Secretary, claimed funds for the year had been fully disbursed

The Kenyan Ministry of Education is set to replace the flawed National Education Management Information System (NEMIS) with a new platform, Kenya Education Management Information System (KEMIS), to enhance funding and monitoring in education.

• Implementation aims to address inaccuracies in data affecting resource allocation and decision-making.
• Julius Bitok, Basic Education Principal Secretary, emphasized the need for reliable data.
• KEMIS will integrate all educational institutions and relevant agencies, ensuring real-time monitoring and improving accountability.
