Parents and leaders in Juja Sub County have called on school principals to exercise patience and refrain from sending learners home over unpaid school fees as they await the government to release National Government -Constituency Development Fund bursaries allocations.

Speaking during a bursary form-filling exercise at Gachororo Primary School Tuesday, Juja MP George Koimburi highlighted the growing financial struggles faced by many families in his constituency adding that sending learners home would lead to more desperation among parents.

Koimburi urged schools to prioritize keeping children in class to safeguard their future assuring that NG/CDF would be disbursement soon.

This comes as thousands of parents thronged the school during a bursary filling exercise in a desperate attempt to secure funding for their children's education.
