The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has demanded the immediate release of capitation funds to schools, threatening midterm closures if the National Treasury fails to comply. This comes as schools struggle with finances, impacting preparations for national examinations.

• KUPPET leaders, led by chairman Omboko Milemba, stated schools would close during midterm break if funds are not disbursed.
• The Ministry of Education, through Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang, confirmed talks with the National Treasury regarding fund disbursement.
• Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi announced that KSh 23 billion will be released to over 45,000 schools nationwide.
• KUPPET also issued a 21-day notice for the arrest of culprits who allegedly stole SHA funds, threatening to advise teachers to withhold contributions.
