I was in the village over the weekend and over 100 parents flocked my house asking for bursaries. Some people think the NG-CDF benefits Members of Parliament. It is not the Members of Parliament who benefit, but Kenyans, namely, students and parents struggling with school fees. Last year, I sponsored 287 students by giving them full scholarships. Twenty-four of them sat for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), out of whom, 23 qualified to go to university. Only one student did not get C+, and got C and joined a college. These are needy students. Were it not for the NG-CDF, they would not have managed to finish secondary The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
