District leaders told Local Government Minister Balaam Barugahara, who was in the area for the Expose the Corrupt campaign, that some of the affected children have resorted to working on cattle farms while others are loitering.

Barugahara directed district leaders to instruct government and government-aided schools to limit parental contributions to sh170,000, comprising sh100,000 for feeding and sh70,000 for school operations. He also ordered schools to allow learners to carry food from home and warned against sending children away over unpaid contributions.
