Gilgil MP Martha Wangari is warning that gains made in the education sector could be eroded in months due to failure by the national government to release capitation funds to public schools.

Despite the Ministry getting the lion's share of the national budget, the delayed allocation to individual schools has crippled their operations for the last couple of months.
