He said the education ministry must ensure the release of funds for smooth operation. Misori was speaking in Nandi South during the union’s AGM.
Misori expressed concern that the government is withholding these funds at a crucial juncture when schools are entering a critical examination period that demands adequate preparation for students, including the provision of necessary practical materials.
He emphasized that the principals did not receive over Sh10 billion in total, and this amount remains unaccounted for.
