    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The bursary for secondary schools has not been scrapped. It has merely been transferred from the Ministry of Education to the Ministry of Finance for management under the Constituencies Development Fund. Previously, it was budgeted under the Ministry of Education but disbursed directly to the Constituencies Bursary Fund which is managed by the Constituency Bursary Committees. (b) The Government allocated secondary schools bursary in 2004 and 2005 as follows: 2004-2005, Kshs770 million and 2005 to 2006, Kshs800 million. The issue of reconsidering the decision requires wide consultations among the relevant Government institutions, Parliament and other stakeholders. What is critical is that the bursary is properly managed to target the needy students."
