/NDINDI NYORO/FBKiharu Member of Parliament, Ndindi Nyoro, has proposed the creation of a national education kitty to fund free day secondary education nationwide, including meals. The remaining Sh10 billion would be injected by the national government through budget adjustments within the Ministry of Education. County governments would collectively add another Sh10 billion, while the national government would provide the final Sh10 billion. He said the push for free secondary education is long overdue and should begin immediately, calling for urgency in the implementation of the initiative. “My call is to have free basic education from term two of 2026,” Nyoro said, adding that a national education kitty would end the practice of politicians using education support as a campaign tool during election periods.
