    "content": "On bursaries, many of my colleagues have talked about it. A majority of our children today attend secondary schools or tertiary colleges because of bursaries. People have lost all their livestock in the region I come from. They are destitute. What they wait for is when the bursary will come. If you give them that Ksh3,000 or Ksh4,000 when the schools open the following term, they will still wait for the same or else those youngsters drop out of school. There is the idea of thinking it is about the population. A majority of allocations in this House must be motivated by needs, not just certain fixed factors. If we look at per capita in this country, some regions are wealthier than others. Some regions are endowed as a result of continuous allocation of more resources or the government has invested in some areas more than others. In the region I come from, I still feel marginalised even with devolution. I am still excluded. I still feel I am poor. That is why we lost some money recently with the reduced NG- CDF allocation. They tagged it on wards. Our needs are actually more, rather than being reduced."
