    "content": "The actual amount received by the school capitation is as follows: In the Financial Year 2022/2023, they received Ksh3,965,812. The component for repair, maintenance and improvement was Ksh1,000,105. In the Financial Year 2023/2024, they received Ksh4,559,530. The component for repairs, maintenance and improvement was Ksh821,750. In the Financial Year 2024/205, they received Ksh3,381,581. The total component for repairs, maintenance and improvement was Ksh2,224,000 in those three years. Thus, the school received a total of Ksh11,912,932 as capitation, from which Ksh2.9 million was to be transferred to the infrastructure account. In addition, the school received Ksh1.5 million from the Ministry as a development grant and Ksh1,576,440 for the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) classrooms. Thus, the school received a total of Ksh6,440,000 in that material period for infrastructure. However, it has been established that those funds were not utilised for infrastructure improvement alone. Instead, the funds were utilised on operations without the requisite authority from the County Director of Education. The Ministry has commissioned a comprehensive investigation into the matter to inform further action. Thirdly, the Ministry issues guidelines to schools on the utilisation of capitation, including the component on repair and maintenance of infrastructure. Through our field officers, county and sub-county directors of education and the Internal Audit Unit, we strive to ensure that the funds are utilised in accordance with the guidelines. Instances of non- compliance are subjected to appropriate remedial action in accordance with the facts of each case. I submit."
