    "content": "totally delayed. I know of a boy in Narok, from Majengo area, by the name Nyakio Richard Julius who scored 371 marks and was admitted to Kilgoris High School. However, due to lack of funds, he was not able to join that particular school. It is only through the intervention of the County Commissioner, Mr. Natembeya, that I heard that the boy has joined another day secondary school. Now the boy lives in a church and attends a day secondary school yet this boy attained 371 marks from a small day public school, Osonkoroi Primary School. The Member of Parliament of the area was really willing to assist this boy, but there was no disbursement of NG-CDF on time. That is why we have such suffering. I know this is just an isolated case in Narok. There may be many other cases elsewhere. We also need the national board of the NG-CDF to move to various areas in this country so that they can actually oversee and get the feel from the ground. They can get cases of people such as Nyakio Richard and know what is actually happening so that when they contact the National Treasury, they tell it what is required. It is shameful because we know that the Treasury is headed by a Kenyan who knows the opening date of schools and the needs on the ground. They need to up their game because sometimes it is better to delay some infrastructure funds rather than delay the fund that is meant for bursaries. The school calendar will not wait. Infrastructure may wait for a few months but the school calendar may not wait. We also need to see ways of bringing all these funds together into one digital portal so that we know what is happening. This is because when I requested the county government to support this boy, they said they had already exhausted their funds. They may not be aware of such cases. Their bursaries were given to people who may have earlier benefitted from other bursary schemes. There needs to be a way for NG-CDF Board to coordinate with other funds meant for the same people so that we can know who have benefitted and who have not. Currently, there is the devolution conference taking place in Kirinyaga. I heard they bought 150,000 condoms and there are 47 governors. I support this Motion."
