Treasury CS John Mbadi has dropped a bombshell—the government has pulled the plug on its Sh11 billion KCSE exam funding. And no, parents won’t be footing the bill—but the real story is far more disturbing.

Speaking during a fiery interview on Ramogi FM, Mbadi exposed what he called “massive financial rot” behind the scenes.

He claimed the abrupt suspension of KCSE exam funding isn’t just a budget move it’s a crackdown on corrupt exam cartels that have allegedly been siphoning billions from the public purse.

“No parent will pay a single cent,” Mbadi insisted. “But we’ve frozen the cash flow to expose the dark underworld misusing our exam funds.”

What’s even more shocking? Kenya has reportedly been printing national exams in LONDON, ENGLAND, at the taxpayers’ expense yes, for years.

“Why are we sending money abroad for something as basic as exam papers? Why should taxpayers pay for my child’s exams?” Mbadi asked in disbelief.

The CS is now spearheading a radical reform plan to demolish the current system, promising a cleaner, transparent, homegrown approach to handling national exam finances.

Meanwhile, Parliament is in uproar. Julius Melly, head of the National Assembly Education Committee, lashed out at the Treasury for presenting a budget that completely ignored national exams.

“Exams are a national priority. How can you offer a budget with zero allocation?” Melly thundered during a tense session with Education PS Julius Bitok.

Bitok admitted to the financial void but calmed nerves by confirming emergency negotiations are ongoing with the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC).

He vowed exams will go on as planned without parents digging into their pockets.With public pressure mounting and the education calendar at stake, Kenyans are watching closely.

The big question now: Who was behind the exam funds mismanagement and will heads roll? Stay tuned to Wamuzi News for continuous updates on this developing story.
