    "content": "The Ministry of Education is aware that pursuant to Section 10(1) (b) of the Kenya National Examinations Council Act, 2012, one of the functions of the KNEC is to award certificates or diplomas to candidates. The Ministry is also aware that such certificates or diplomas shall not be withheld from candidates by any person or institution. However, Section 59(n) and (o) of the Basic Education Act, 2013, authorises school boards of management to administer and manage the resources of their institutions and also to receive, collect and account for any funds accruing to their institutions. Further, and according to Section 67(1) and (2) of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) code of regulations for teachers revised in 2005, non-collection of any authorized monies due to the Kenya Government, boards of management or district education boards will be deemed to be loss of public funds which will lead to disciplinary action against the head of the institution. This part of the law is meant to ensure that school heads manage the resources available to them prudently, to ensure that learners, not only remain in school, but are properly taken care of. Failure to collect any funds due to schools, therefore, will adversely affect learning and quality of education. The quality of education is likely to be compromised."
