    "content": "This is a very serious matter. I am forever indebted to this distinguished Senator for Kiambu. You have drawn the attention of the country. Bursaries and their administration are expensive, wasteful and a conduit for mega corruption. By the time the money leaves the National Treasury to go to the NG-CDF, the fund that the Women Members of Parliament (MPs) control, or to the Department of Education where the Office of the President controls some of it, there is an administration cost. Over and above that, because Kenyans are starting to become inherently corrupt, the people involved exercise their own little piece of corruption. Madam Temporary Speaker, I, therefore propose that this administrative cost that occasions wastage in hundreds of millions, the corruption that occasions loss of million of shillings meant for bursary, be eliminated by simply leaving all this money at the Ministry of Education for the Ministry to offer free education. Madam Temporary Speaker, we can start with an experiment of adding to what President Kibaki had already proven. That you can make education in primary schools 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."
