flag Bumula MP Jack Wamboka demands removal of Kenya’s Education Principal Secretary Julius Bitok over delayed school funding and mismanagement.

flag Bumula MP Jack Wamboka has called for the removal of Kenya’s Basic Education Principal Secretary Julius Bitok, citing delayed capitation funds—only Sh7,000 per student instead of the promised Sh22,000—as a key cause of school funding crises. flag Speaking at Mateka Secondary School, he accused Bitok of poor leadership, administrative neglect, and prioritizing political activities over ministry duties, undermining Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba Migos. flag Wamboka warned that ongoing financial shortfalls are disrupting school operations, delaying staff payments, and harming learning materials and food supplies, especially for vulnerable students. flag He also criticized a government directive allowing Grade 10 students to transition without uniforms, saying it adds strain on already overstretched schools. flag His call aligns with growing internal scrutiny, including recent doubts raised by National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah about Bitok’s grasp of education reforms.
