Addressing the a function in Kisumu where Governor Nyong’o launched the last tranche of bursary fund of the Financial year 2020/2021, says by doing so it will make the students to walk the journey of their education till the end.

The MCA who is also the Chairman of education Committee at the County Assembly of Kisumu says the County Government under Prof Anyang Nyong’o is currently sponsoring 10 students per ward on full scholarship during their four-year secondary school course and this is a good gesture indeed.

“These students have been vulnerable and this is why the County Government of Kisumu under your leadership is fully sponsoring them and this is a good gesture indeed which should be extended up to the university level to enable them complete their education for those who will proceed there,” he says.

Arao at the time urged the Department of Finance at the County Government of Kisumu to pay bursary funds promptly so that beneficiaries are not sent away from school for fees.
