    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for the opportunity to address this august House on this very important Motion. The question of bursaries in Kenya is a serious one. It requires sober attention because it is founded on the constitutional provision that basic education is a right. The state is a duty bearer and must ensure that people go to school. The state has allocated funds and it is not a small amount. However, the problem is that the money is too fragmented. Bursaries are highly fragmented. Some are distributed through the Ministry, others through various cadres of politicians and some even through the Jomo Kenyatta Foundation (JKF). The basic concept of a bursary is that it is given to needy students, it is not the same as a scholarship. The distinction between a bursary and a scholarship must be made clear. I have seen allocations where people claim to be financing bright children. A scholarship is awarded based on academic excellence, as a grant. A bursary, on the other hand, is given based on economic need. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
