• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, currently, there are 22 countries which offer Kenya a number of scholarships per year. These are as follows: Cuba, Czech, UK, India, China, Russia, Turkey, South Korea, Morocco, Egypt, Serbia, Algeria, Newzealand, Slovakia, Indonesia, Venezuela, Switzerland, Trinidad and Tobago, Ukraine, Malaysia, Pakistan and Japan. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: The first 12 countries have offered the Kenyan Government scholarships through the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology on a regular basis for the last three years. These scholarships are categorized as per follows: We have full scholarships and partial scholarships. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: (c) Scholarships were previously awarded based on provinces. Therefore, there is no list for constituencies as requested by the Questioner. However, from December, 2010, following the promulgation of the new Constitution, we have started awarding scholarships on the basis of counties, and sometimes constituencies. The process of awarding the scholarship is based on eligibility criteria, which ensures that there is equity in terms of gender, and regional balance as earlier mentioned in part (a) of my answer. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, lastly, it is also important to know that some countries do not offer scholarships every year, hence the total number of scholarships received vary from year to year. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a good question. I think if the questioner was allowed to really respond before me, I think he would have really convinced this House that the list we gave him reflected the face of Kenya. I want to confirm to the House that before the promulgation of the new Constitution, we actually gave scholarships to each and every province, and it reflected the face of Kenya. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I came to this House, I really wanted to compare notes with Dr. Monda on whether he has full information. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: As far as I am concerned, I have an elaborate list for all the scholarships given to applicants for the last three years. So, if he does not have the information, I can avail that information right now. If he thinks he wants to interrogate further, I stand guided. However, the information is here; province by province and reflecting the face of our country. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I beg to table the list. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that is not what I said. I said after the promulgation of our new Constitution, we, as a Ministry, have now taken into account counties. We all know most counties have constituencies. So, it is not possible to please all constituencies, but we consider all counties. If a student from constituency “a” or “b” benefits that is by chance. However, every county must get a chance. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we put all our scholarships in the daily newspapers, mostly the Standard and Daily Nation . All applicants are requested to apply. There is an office that deals with the processing of those documents, after which, three students are shortlisted per course. Then there is a Committee that interviews all of them. That Committee comes up with one name and a few reserves. So, it is an elaborate system that makes sure that there is fairness in every meaning of that word. view
