National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi criticized Parliament for inadequate funding of school capitation, claiming they approved budgets that fail to meet the actual needs of learners.

• Current policy requires KSh22,000 annually per student in public day secondary schools, but KSh17,000 is currently allocated.
• Mbadi highlighted that the Treasury has disbursed all funds but has never reached the full capitation target.
• He proposed reallocating 40% of the KSh21 billion bursary allocation from the National Government Constituencies Development Fund to enhance capitation funding for students.
