The scandal has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with users like Farhiya Abass and Ela M Kimwele questioning the integrity of the Ministry of Education and the government’s commitment to combating corruption and turning around the education system in Kenya. Some users, such as Britney Michelle and Gamechanger, humorously speculated about the schools’ potential use as “polling stations” or even having KCSE grades, highlighting the absurdity of the situation.

The public outcry has been intense, with many expressing disappointment and frustration over the misuse of funds meant for education transformation in the country.

As the nation grapples with this revelation, calls for accountability and reform within the education sector have grown louder, with Kenyans demanding transparency and action from their leaders.
