Opposition Leaders Criticize Government Over Education Funding and Economy in Kajiado…

Opposition leaders Ndindi Nyoro and Fred Matiang’i held a rally in Rongai, Kajiado County, on October 25, 2026. They accused the government of failing to address challenges in education, the economy, and security. Ndindi Nyoro specifically cited inadequate school capitation and the ongoing university lecturers’ strike.

The criticism highlighted a significant funding gap in the education sector, noting that public secondary schools received Sh10.96 billion, resulting in an annual funding per secondary student of about Sh16,450 against a statutory requirement of Sh22,244. This deficit leaves school heads facing a shortfall of nearly Sh5,800.
