Auditor-General questions billions in public school payments to KESSHA

The Auditor-General of Kenya has flagged irregular payments of public school funds amounting to potentially over 1 billion Kenyan shillings to the Kenya Secondary School Heads Association (KESSHA), stating that such welfare subscription fees should not be paid by public schools but by individual principals. This raises questions about the management of public funds and could significantly impact the operational funding model of KESSHA across thousands of public secondary schools.
