    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Statement from the Senator for Nandi, Sen. Cherarkey, on this matter of scholarship of students across the country. This is not just an issue for Uasin Gishu County but is a matter that touches all counties in Kenya. Almost every county government and the national Government has allocated an amount for scholarships and bursaries to benefit the students of this country. There is also the issue of counties bringing up the bursary fund to their own people. This Statement will try to resolve this matter by looking at how counties have given out and allocated these bursaries including scholarships to students in their counties. This is a matter that this country needs to understand and know the transparency because this is where there is a lot of scam in counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the people who benefit from these scholarships are not meant to benefit from them and those who are supposed to benefit, do not get them. This Statement through the Committee, which I am a Member, will look at this issue, address it and report back on what is happening in the country. There is no transparency in the issues of scholarships. That has never been there. This is the time we will bring this issue to this House in order to understand what is happening. What is happening in Finland had a good motive and it was a good idea by Uasin Gishu and other counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Finland has a very good education system. There is a process that needs to be investigated in order to see what is happening. The Committee that will look into this matter will go beyond the borders to put this matter to rest."
