Candidate pledge to create MP’s education fund to help
needy students in Nyando
ALL students from Nyando constituency who will receive
admission letters to the national schools across the country will get funding
from a Member of Parliament Fund initiated by an aspiring Member of Parliament.
A Parliamentary candidate in Nyando Constituency Patrick
Lumumba Ouya has pledged to create a Member of Parliament Fund from his pocket
and friends if he is elected as the next MP for the area to help in educating
all the needy students who will be receiving calling letters to join National
schools across the country.
Addressing members of the clergy from Nyando constituency to
tell them his agenda for the Nyando constituency and why he opted to vie the Parliamentary
seat as an Independent Candidate in the forthcoming August 9 General Election,
Ouya said no such student will miss a chance of join national schools due to
lack of school fees.
Ouya says he is determined to create such funds to ensure
that students from Nyando constituency who will be joining the national schools
won’t have difficulties in paying their school fees for four years in secondary
schools.
“I want to leave a legacy in Nyando where I intend to ensure
that I create the Member of Parliament’s Fund to cater for school fees to all
students who will be receiving their calling letters to join National schools
across the country,” he says.
The Nyando Parliamentary candidate says he will also
increase the allocation of bursary from shs 3,000 to 10,000 if he is elected as
the next Member of Parliament for Nyando constituency.
He says the current allocation of bursary of shs 3,000 to
those in day school is very little hence needs to be increased to benefit the
needy students.
Ouya at the same time outlined his other Agenda for Nyando
Constituency where he has promised to tackle the issue of the perennial floods
in the area within two years if he is elected as the Member of Parliament.
He has also promised to improve the road networks within the
area which he claims most are in deplorable states.
“I will ensure that most roads in Nyando are tarmacked
within my first term in office as a Member of Parliament for Nyando
Constituency,” he adds.
Ouya has also pledged to ensure there is funding for women
to have income generating activities especially those doing businesses will
benefit from such funds.
Bishop Kasuku Kalolo says the clergy will continue to pray
for peaceful polls come August 9 this year.
He has appealed to all candidates seeking various positions
to be peaceful during the campaigns ahead of the polls in August.
Nyando constituency Parliamentary seat has attracted a
number candidates who have been declared by IEBC to run for the seat during the
August 9 polls.
They include the current MP Jared Okello who is defending
the seat on ODM Party ticket, Patrick Lumumba Ouya{Independent}, Willis
