Nakuru County Governor Susan Kihika, on Tuesday, January 21, announced the launch of the first batch of bursaries for the 2024/25 financial year in Nakuru County.
This launch came barely a week after the Controller of Budget (CoB) Margaret Nyakang'o barred County Governments from issuing bursaries to students in primary schools, secondary schools, and universities. "Launched the first tranche of the 2024/25 bursary disbursement program, allocating Sh440M to benefit 46,345 students across Nakuru County," Kihika wrote on X. "We covered Naivasha, Nakuru Town West, and Gilgil Day Secondary School.
Education, a top priority in our manifesto, is a promise delivered." A photo of Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang'o.

"Following numerous calls that I have received regarding my absence, as the elected Governor of Nakuru County, I want to, first of all, assure the people of Nakuru that I am well and currently on maternity leave," Kihika clarified.
