A politician has called on the national government to consolidate all bursaries together before distributing them to schools.
North Imenti parliamentary seat aspirant Ms Carol Muriuki aka “CK” urged the government to consolidate all bursary funds from various political offices in a bid to eliminate duplication where a student benefits from more than one source.
She said if the bursaries are consolidated in a central place, it will enhance access to free education for all since all the deserving learners will benefit.
CK challenged Members of Parliament to initiate the drafting of a bill that would centralize the bursary kitties, arguing that this move would relieve parents of the financial burden associated with educating their children.
“I urge the government to consolidate all bursary funds to a central office in a bid to eliminate duplication and ensure all the deserving learners benefits. If the bursaries are consolidated in a central place, it will enhance access to free education for all. I challenge all the MPs to draft a bill to centralize the bursaries,” said CK.
At the same time, she took a swipe at North Imenti MP Rahim Dawood, accusing him of evading responsibility for stalled road projects in the constituency.
“Whenever he’s questioned about certain roads, he claims they are under the county government, yet those are national government roads. He must stop shifting blame and take responsibility,” CK stated.
