A parliamentary committee has resolved to summon Kenya Secondary School Heads Association (KESSHA) officials to shed light on how millions of shillings contributed by public secondary schools are spent.

The National Assembly’s Public Investments Committee on Governance and Education, chaired by Luanda MP Dick Maungu, now wants KESSHA to account for funds received from schools following an auditor’s report that flagged direct payments to the association as irregular.
