Sh1.7bn meant for CBC classes for secondary schools missing
Quick Glance: Uncertainties surrounding the construction of 10,000 classes
  • There are uncertainties surrounding the implementation of the project to build 10,000 classes in secondary schools during the Uhuru Kenyatta administration.

  • A report by the Auditor-General has put into question the ministry's expenditures for classroom construction in 2021, raising concerns about irregularities and unaccounted funds.

  • Even though the ministry had initially reported spending Sh4.48 billion on the project, exceeding the approved budget of Sh2.69 billion by a significant margin, the accuracy and completeness of the expenditure of Sh1.78 billion could not be confirmed.
