MP Ouda gives scholarship to 40 form one needy students in Kisumu Central.

KISUMU Central Member of Parliament Fred Ouda has issued scholarship to 40 bright but needy students from the various schools within the constituency who are joining form ones in secondary schools across the country.

The scholarship given through the Fred Ouda Scholarship will carter for the four years which the 40 students will be within the secondary school.

Each sponsored student who is proceeding to National school is given about shs 54,000 as school fees for the whole year and this will be so for the four years they will be in secondary school.

Addressing the parents and pupils who have benefited from the program, Kisumu Central Member of Parliament Fred Ouda said the programs aims at helping the needy but bright students whose parents cannot afford to pay secondary school fees.

Ouda says he is very much concerned with matters of education within the constituency hence initiating the programs for the bright but needy students.

The Member of Parliament has urged the students to go and work very hard in secondary school so as to achieve good performance which can enable them get admitted to universities and pursue good courses.

“I want you students to embark on serious studies immediately you join high school so that in the end you will get good grades which will enable you to proceed to universities where you will pursue good courses,” Ouda says.

He urges those parents whose children have benefited from the program to ensure that they maintain discipline both at home and school, adding that this will help in ensuring that the students excel well academically after their four-year term in secondary school.

“It is now your work to ensure that your sons and daughters excel academically. You must ensure that they maintain the highest standard of discipline both at home and in school,” Ouda adds.

Ouda has proposed that he will hold a stakeholders’ consultative meeting on how to ensure that the constituency has good standard of education.

He says the meeting will attract about 200 stakeholders per ward within all the six wards in the constituency to discuss matters of education.
