According to the disbursement status some schools missed out on the disbursement for failing to update their details on the National Education Management Information System, NEMIS.

Following the disbursement of FDSE capitation for first term 2019, the following scenarios have emerged: Some schools had missing bank accounts on NEMIS,” reads, in part, a circular by Paul Kibet; for the Basic Education Permanent Secretary.
