Education Cabinet Secretary Migos Ogamba has issued a directive for all schools to re-register through the new Kenya Education Management Information System (KEMIS) to combat the issue of "ghost schools" and ensure transparency in fund allocation. This initiative aims to streamline data and prevent fraud after concerns were raised about Ksh1.3 billion in infrastructure funds being diverted to non-existent institutions.

• All schools must re-register on KEMIS, an updated version of NEMIS, to provide clean data on school locations, student numbers, and teachers.
• CS Ogamba stated that running ghost schools is an offense, and a team is working with the Auditor General to address such cases.
• The directive follows revelations that part of a Ksh1.3 billion school infrastructure fund was channeled to ghost institutions.
• Additionally, CS Ogamba mentioned a recent reduction in university fees by between 15 percent and 30 percent.
