 Muhoroni Constituency disburses over 30M bursary for needy students

The Muhoroni Constituency in Kisumu County has disbursed over shs 30million to needy students in both Day and Boarding Secondary schools.

Addressing parents, Teachers and students at Olik Oliero Secondary school in Miwani ward, Muhoroni Member of Parliament James Mathews Onyango Ko’yoo said it has disbursed a total of shs 4,654,000 to the students coming from Miwani ward alone.

The Member of Parliament says the disbursement will supplement the fees parents pay to their sons and daughters in various schools.

The Lawmaker has hinted that the Muhoroni National Government Constituency Development Fund will begin the construction of three new classrooms in three schools within Miwani ward.

He says the three schools include Amilo Primary school, Kibos Prisons Primary schools and Miwani Estate Primary school.

Early this year, the Muhoroni Constituency sponsored students who were admitted to National schools across the country.

A total of 61 students joining national schools across the country were fully sponsored under a scholarship program initiated by the current Member of Parliament.

The students who are from poor background now had a reason to smile as they began 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 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 said.
