The extent of rot in the education sector has once again come to the fore with the outgoing National Treasury Cabinet Secretary, Njuguna Ndung’u, raising questions on ministry data and capitation allocation to schools.

In his candid handover notes, Prof Ndung’u acknowledged the existence of ghost schools that have been receiving government funding.

He also poked holes in the funding formula for basic learning institutions and universities terming it broken and needing urgent review.
