Fort Jesus in Mombasa needs Sh100 million for repairs but was allocated a paltry Sh20 million.
NMK should take over sites that could generate income such as the tomb of Jomo Kenyatta at Parliament Buildings.
The National Museums of Kenya has a debt of Sh800 million and is on the verge of insolvency, its new director-general, Mzalendo Kibunjia, has said.
Dr Kibunjia told the Public Investments Committee the parastatal has had perennial poor record-keeping, which has resulted in numerous queries by the Auditor-General.
