Students in Kenya’s Samburu North To Benefit From Sh17 Million Bursary Fund

Needy students from Kenya’s bandit-prone Samburu North will benefit from Sh17 million bursary money released to the constituency by the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF).

Area Memeber of Parliament Alois Lentoimaga issued cheques for amounts ranging between Sh5,000 and Sh10,000 to more than 2,000 secondary school and tertiary college students.

Lentoimaga said needy cases that stood out, especially where children joined national schools, will have their concerns addressed separately by the committee to ensure learners’ education is not interrupted due to lack of fees.

The legislator said his priority was to ensure needy students were supported to access education for the growth of the nation while revealing that he was a beneficiary of a bursary from a well-wisher.

The legislator further announced that through the NG-CDF, he plans to construct more secondary schools and technical and vocational centers in the volatile region to ensure residents access affordable education.

He said the NG-CDF committee will allocate money in the 2021/22 financial year for the construction of more learning institutions in Samburu North.
