"content": "If those amendments are brought to this House, I will support them because that is what we need most. There are Members who have funds which they do not use and others have excess. I talked about it here the other day. I remember the Leader of the Minority Party commented on it. I was sincerely candid about it. There are those constituencies which have well up people who take their children to big and expensive schools. Hon. Members shop for people to give bursaries and some give scholarships. I struggle to see how I can share Kshs20 million among 15,000 applicants. We take a lot of time to vet and know who should be given the bursary. If you are to give bursary to every applicant, you will end up giving Kshs2,000 each. What is that for secondary education? That is why I feel it is high time we amended the Act. The poorest constituencies and the most needy children should get a better share like it was before."
