Muhoroni MP’s Legacy soars up as he gives more needy students scholarship

FOR the ninth time running Muhoroni constituency in Kisumu County has awarded more students who have benefited from a four year education project through scholarship.

In a program that kicked off in 2014 when the current Muhoroni Member of Parliament Mathews Onyango Ko’yoo entered Parliament, the number of the needy but bright students being sponsored to further their education at National schools across the country have tremendously increased.

This year alone, a total of 61 students joining national schools across the country have been fully sponsored under a scholarship program initiated by the current Member of Parliament.

The students who are from poor background now have a reason to smile as from next week on Monday when they will join their fellow to begin their four year journey in secondary school.

Addressing a gathering when the Muhoroni National Government Constituency Development Fund disbursed a total of shs 3.5 million to the needy but bright students joining national schools, Muhoroni Member of Parliament Mathew Onyango K’oyoo urged the beneficiaries to work hard and get good grades at the end of their four years in secondary school.

The Member of Parliament has challenged parents whose children have benefitted from the program to ensure that they make a follow up and track academic progress for their sons and daughters.

“We are now paying school fees for these children who comes from humble background and we are asking parents to make a follow up on the academic progress of their children during the four years they will be in secondary school,” the MP says.

Last year, Muhoroni constituency awarded 64 students who joined nationals across the country.

Since the programs begun, a number of students who were sponsored have excelled and proceeded to University and managed to study courses like medicine, Law, Engineering among others courses.

This December, the Office of the Muhoroni MP will have a get together party with all the beneficiaries of the kitty particularly those who have completed their university education with an aim of helping to mentor the current crop of students who have benefited too in the program.
