Over 5000 needy students from Sabatia Constituency have benefited from Sh25.3 million in bursaries from the area National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) to help cover school fees. The students, drawn from both boarding and day secondary schools, received bursaries that will significantly support tuition payments and ease the financial burden on parents.
The funds are aimed at assisting some of the most vulnerable households, which have been severely affected by the tough economic times, by ensuring that learners' studies are not disrupted.
While overseeing the disbursement, Sabatia MP Clement Sloya said the bursaries are intended to alleviate the cost of education for students in secondary schools and special needs institutions. "The initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to ensure that all learners, regardless of their background, have access to quality education," Sloya said.
He instructed the NG-CDF Constituency Committee to employ a strict follow-up mechanism to monitor the academic and general performance of the beneficiaries. "We must get value for money, and that is why it is important to have an elaborate follow-up on performance to ensure quality outcomes," said the lawmaker.
