    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding scholarships on education programmes between county governments and academic institutions outside the country. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Apprise the Senate on the exact number of scholarships on education programmes currently in place guaranteed by county governments and managed by academic institutions outside the country, disclosing the terms and conditions of such scholarships. (2) Find out whether the Ministry of Education has a policy framework guiding counties in engaging with educational institutions abroad. (3) State measures the Ministry of Education is instituting in facilitating students currently facing termination of their academic programmes and repatriation from Finland, due to non-payment of fees occassioned by withdrawal of their fees held in trust accounts. (4) Outline any measures the Ministry of Education has put in place to streamline the terms and conditions of these scholarships, occassioned by rising cases of students being airlifted to study in various academic institutions abroad on scholarships guaranteed by county governments across the country, outlining measures to safeguard parents from being swindled. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can see the Senator for Siaya County, Sen. (Dr.) Oburu, is in the House whereas there is an Azimio rally in Siaya. I hope all is well. With those many remarks, thank you."
