The Democratic Congress Party (DCP) has threatened nationwide student protests if the government fails to release school capitation funds within a week. DCP Secretary General Cleopas Malala issued an ultimatum during a rally in Embu County, demanding funds reach schools by August 8.

• The protest threat follows the arrest and release of Manyatta MP Gitonga Mukunji on terrorism-related charges.
• Malala accused the Kenya Kwanza administration of sabotaging free education and corruption, stating, “This is not a question of lack of funds, it’s a question of corruption and misplaced priorities.”
• Other leaders, including Nyandarua Senator John Methu, Murang’a Senator Joe Nyutu, and Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Thang’wa, also condemned the capitation cuts.
