7,000 needy students benefit from
Kisumu Central NG-CDF Bursary of sh 30 million.
ABOUT 7,000 students
have been awarded bursary from the Kisumu Central National Government Constituency
Development fund bursary.
The students
ranging from Secondary, Tertiary institutions and Driving schools have been awarded
the bursary to help in paying fees for their education.
Speaking
during the launch of the Bursary program, Kisumu Central Member of Parliament Fred
Odhiambo Ouda said his priority is to ensure the needy students within the
constituency are supported to get education with easy through the bursary fund.
Ouda said he
grew up from a very humble background and his secondary fees was paid by a
former Member of Parliament from one of the constituencies in Nakuru County
because his mother could not afford educating him hence he really sympathize
with the plight of needy students who cannot afford fees and paying for them.
Ouda said
during his tenure as the area Member of Parliament he will try his level best
to ensure that he helps the needy students by paying their school fees or
through sponsoring some as he had been doing since he became MP nearly two
years ago.
“As a young
boy, I roasted maize with my Mother in Nakuru and after passing my final exams
in primary school, a Member of Parliament rescued and paid my secondary school
fees. This is the reason as to why I value education so much and helping the
needy students to pursue education because this is the best thing one can give
to a needy students who want to further his education,” Ouda said.
Ouda at the
same time urged his critics to give him more time so as to deliver the election
pledges rather than putting with unnecessary criticisms that does not help at
all.
He added
that he has a very greater vision for the constituency and if given enough time
he will surely deliver to the electorates, adding that he needs to serve two
terms in order to serve his constituents effectively and successfully.
During the
presentation of cheques to the students, secondary schools students got the lion’s
share of the bursary after being awarded shs 16,718,742 followed closely by students
in tertiary institutions who got 8,883,258.
Those going
to driving schools within the constituency managed to get over sh 4million
which will be used to pay their school fees while in those schools.
The issue of
the Kisumu Central Constituency Bursary comes barely two months after the area
Member of Parliament launched the second scholarship program where a total of
40 needy but bright students were given a four year scholarship with each year
being paid a total of 54,000 per student in secondary school.
The students
were joining form one early this year after sitting their final primary
examination last year of 2018.
