    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the Statement by the Senator for Nandi County. The Statement is in regard to education scholarships between Kenyan counties and academic institutions outside the country. I agree with my colleague and classmate, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, SC, about devolving education at the Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) level, but not at the primary, secondary and university levels. When a county government allocates resources in their county and supports a specific education program, with specific universities and scholarship amounts – taking students in their counties to universities abroad, this should be allowed. The problem is when the extent of these scholarships is not clear as was said by the other Member. Mr. Speaker, Sir, counties are supplementing in supporting the national Government in advancing education. We need to insist that any county that intends to sponsor a scholarship programme for their students, should be very clear to the parents on whether it is a full scholarship or for one or two years."
