This is such a simple issue, those young eager journalists should just track down Kaimenyi's children, or school going kids of a few senior public officials; find out if they are holed out at home, and the issue should be resolved pronto.
Even better, find out average salary of the teachers who teach Kaimenyi's or a few senior public officials kids, and contrast with those of an average public school, make public, and the money will be found.
