"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to be honest, I am not aware that there is money that the Ministry said should not be disbursed but should be returned to Nairobi. This is because we do not ask for money to be returned. We know that there was a change of policy sometime back that Kenya Government scholarships were reduced because of funding problems and we did not have much. In fact, in the last financial year, there was no money that was sent to the embassies. The only money that may be there could be remnant money from the previous financial year. However, if the money is there, I will investigate and see that we utilize it. However, we have been very supportive to the students in Russia. It is not only in Russia where we have students who are stranded. We also some students who appear stranded in Mexico because we have received information from them. We have been trying to see how we can utilize the scholarships that come from Russia to support the same students. We did that for these students in the last financial year. We did not utilize this for all the countries but we negotiated with the embassies, and our Embassy in Russia is one of those that we utilized. So, we are trying to address all these issues, particularly the students who seem to be stranded."
