The Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) announced plans for widespread demonstrations if the Kenyan government does not increase and distribute school capitation funds within the next month, stating that schools will remain closed until this is done.

• $22,000 was previously allocated per student, now reduced to $16,000.
• Cleophas Malala, DCP Deputy Party Leader, declared that the failure to distribute funds is a "life-threatening decision."
• Despite protests, Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba reassured that free primary and secondary education will continue, citing rising enrollments as a reason for reduced funding.
