    "content": "Members have discussed what there is with regard to disbursement of funds by the board. During the last few financial years, this has been a thorny issue because in all the financial statements from the Office of the Auditor General, late disbursements mean that Kenyans did not get value for their money because the projects that were budgeted for were not completed. For this Financial Year 2017/2018, there will be audit issues because constituencies will not be in a position to absorb all the money and yet it has been budgeted for. Therefore, according to the auditor, the projects were not implemented and Kenyans did not get value for their money that financial year. This is an issue that should be looked at, including the late disbursement of bursaries which is really affecting our students. For this Financial Year 2018/19, constituencies are about to release bursaries in the next few weeks. So, many students have been affected, noting that the Government has been advocating for 100 per cent transition from primary to secondary schools. So, there are very many students who are waiting for bursaries."
