  "summary": "The National Assembly Committee on Education in Kenya has raised concerns over an estimated Ksh600 million worth of Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) learning materials that have become dead stock at the Kenya Literature Bureau (KLB). This surplus emerged as a result of curriculum changes following recommendations by the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms (PWER) during the 2023/2024 financial year. KLB Managing Director George Okeyo informed lawmakers that the bureau is seeking a solution to this inventory but has already spent Ksh1.9 billion of its Ksh2.2 billion recurrent budget allocation. The committee also questioned significant savings recorded under personal emoluments, particularly a Ksh79 million reduction in gratuity and pension funds, and sought clarity on staffing levels and the utilization of funds allocated for employee-related costs.",
