PS Bitok anafafanua mpangaji wa Ksh95 kwa mwanafunzi kwa vitabu shuleni

Katibu Mkuu wa Kudumu wa Elimu Julius Bitok ametoa maelezo ya kina ya jinsi Ksh1,400 kwa mwanafunzi kwa mwaka hutumika katika shule za msingi za umma, akijibu kelele za umma kuhusu malipo ya Ksh95.25 kwa mwanafunzi. Amebainisha kuwa Ksh95.25 ni kwa nyenzo za kujifunza pekee.

Katibu Mkuu wa Kudumu wa Elimu Julius Bitok amefafanua mpangaji wa fedha za capitation kwa shule za msingi za umma baada ya kelele za umma kuhusu Ksh95.25 iliyotolewa kwa kila mwanafunzi. "Kiasi kilichoonyeshwa ni kwa mwanafunzi, si shule," alisema Bitok. Ameeleza kuwa Ksh95.25 ni kwa nyenzo za kujifunza pekee kama vitabu na karatasi, wakati Ksh93.08 ni kwa shughuli za shule kama wafanyikazi, matengenezo na mitihani.

Katika Akaunti 1, Ksh95.25 imegawanywa: Ksh40 kwa vitabu vya mazoezi, Ksh35.25 kwa karatasi, Ksh15 kwa mifumo na marejeleo ya walimu, na Ksh5 kwa matengenezo ya vitabu. Fedha hizi zimeshawekwa kwenye akaunti za shule kwa kutumia data ya NEMIS ya Novemba 25, 2024.

Akaunti 2 inagharimu Ksh93.08 kwa mwanafunzi, ikijumuisha Ksh20 kwa mishahara ya wafanyikazi wasaidizi, Ksh23 kwa matengenezo na uboreshaji wa miundombinu, Ksh10 kwa shughuli za ziada, Ksh10 kwa uwezo na mikutano ya Bodi ya Usimamizi, na Ksh7 kwa mitihani na gharama zingine. Bitok alionya kuwa "utumiaji wa fedha utafuata maagizo kamili isipokuwa na idhini kutoka mamlaka."
