    "content": "arguments often overlook the figures. At present, the Ministry of Education, through the national Government, has allocated close to KSh702 billion to the education sector. In terms of bursaries, for example, the amount allocated to NG-CDF to support needy students is close to Ksh20 billion. All the 47 county governments allocate a maximum of Ksh10 billion. If you add the amounts, it is around Ksh30 billion. If you add it to the Ministry of Education kitty, the amount sums to Ksh732 billion. How much money do we need to make education free in this country? According to my research, I found out that we need close to Ksh1.3 trillion. It does not add much value to say that we can consolidate funds from the Ministry and NG-CDF bursaries to make education free. It is not practical. Therefore, it is necessary to retain these Funds to support education of the most vulnerable in the society. During vetting processes, the public know students who genuinely require support. So, they pick the top needy students to get bursaries."
