    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to school bursary for the vulnerable and poor households, hon. Members, indeed, during these difficult economic times, we must act swiftly to cushion poor households against further suffering. In this spirit, in addition to the Kshs500 million provided under the 2010/2011 Budget, we have allocated an additional Kshs840 million under the Ministry of Education, to scale up the bursary programme in order to cater for a Kshs20,000 annual bursary fee grant for an additional 42,000 orphans and children from poor households in secondary schools throughout the country. This programme will assure, at least, 200 school going needy children of this lifelong investment in each of our 210 constituencies at a cost of Kshs4 million each. I urge hon. Members and, indeed, the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) committees to be fully involved and strictly ensure that only deserving orphaned, poor and needy bright children benefit from this."
