The KESSHA has warned that delays in government school capitation could lead to the closure of hundreds of schools across Kenya. Financial struggles are mounting due to reduced funding and increasing debts.

• Ksh68 billion is owed to schools due to decreased capitation since 2019.
• Kai Indimuli, former KESSHA Chair, highlighted the dire financial situation during a public event on July 27.
• Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba confirmed capitation has been reduced, attributing it to increased student enrollment and budget constraints.
