The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party on Wednesday disagreed with the Controller of Budget's directive to bar counties from issuing bursaries for higher institutions of learning.
In a statement dated January 15 and signed by the leadership of the party including ODM party leader Anyang' Nyong'o, the Orange Democratic Movement expressed concerns over the recent directive by the Controller of Budget to impose financial restrictions on county governments.
In effect, the party called on the Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang'o to recall the directive and institute a fair directive that will ensure learners from poor backgrounds in colleges, vocational training institutions, and universities benefit from counties' bursaries. "We call on the Controller of Budget to reconsider this directive and to apply equitable measures that uphold the constitutional rights and responsibilities of both levels of government," read the statement.
