Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba has clarified that the Kenyan government's capitation for free basic education has not been revoked, despite recent budgetary cuts.

• The government has reduced the capitation fee from a target of Ksh22,244 to Ksh16,600 per secondary school student due to budget constraints.
• The clarification follows statements from Treasury CS John Mbadi, who indicated that the funding for free basic education is no longer sustainable.
• Ogamba emphasized that free and compulsory basic education is a constitutional right, and the government will lobby for increased funding to address the resource gap.
