Parents queue to buy books at Anvi Bookshop in Kisumu on July 25, 2021. I don’t know how to raise the required fees,” said John Maina. Phena Atieno, another parent, said she had to sacrifice some domestic needs in order to afford the books required by her three children. In some schools, parents claimed principals had doubled fees from Sh35,000 to Sh70,000. At Canon Kituri Secondary School, parents will be required to pay Sh14,000 more for their children’s upkeep.
