    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The criteria for awarding scholarships to students by Jomo Kenyatta Foundation (JKF) is as follows. A beneficiary must be a Kenyan boy or girl and gender parity applies; must be a poor orphan; must be a poor boy or girl with disability; must be a child from a family with an extremely poor background; must have documentary record of good discipline as attested by the headteacher or the management of the primary school last attended; must have sat for KCPE or its equivalent in a primary school and attained at least 70 per cent of the maximum marks attainable; must be due to join Form I or already in a public secondary school. (b) The details of scholarship award to students from Turkana County since Independence are not available due to lack of data. However, the list of scholarship beneficiaries in Turkana County from 2001 to 2012 is attached. I hope the Member of Parliament has a copy there. (c) The constituency bursary allocation is based on constituency poverty indices, and students enrollment in the public secondary schools as follows: The constituency poverty Index divided by the national poverty index times constituency enrollment times national bursary allocation divided by national student enrollment. In line with the new Constitution, the JKF is reviewing its scholarship policy and operational structures, especially the eligibility and selection criteria. In January, 2012, the JKF awarded the scholarships to students based on the county needs. The Foundation is also in the process of establishing an endowment fund from other sources to ensure sustainability and support of the scholarship programme."
