• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The criteria for awarding scholarships to students by Jomo Kenyatta Foundation (JKF) is as follows.

• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, the Jomo Kenyatta Foundation Bursary is fairly limited. I just wish to tell the House that the hon. Member is not right to say that we have been giving scholarships to an average of two. It varies. For example, in 2003, we took four; in 2004, we took another four and in 2005 we took four. Then in 2011, we took four and this year we took four.

• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a good suggestion as regards reaching out to the potential beneficiaries. I have taken note of that. It is a good idea which we can put into practice. As regards the qualification, I have said that the Jomo Kenyatta Foundation is reviewing some of these issues, so that they are in line with the new Constitution. So, that will be considered. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have talked about poverty index which takes care of the issues the hon. Member is raising. It is even repeated here. Part (a) (ii), (iii) and (iv) of my answer takes care of Turkana which is one of the poorest counties in this country. You will realize that this year, Turkana got four while other counties could not even be having one. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said that the number of bursaries that JKF can give depends on the money available at that particular time. Also, the number of beneficiaries per county will also depend on who applies. Furthermore, if the poor child from Turkana applies, that does not rule out the chance of another poor child applying from Central Province. Even Central Province has also children from poor background. So, they are all considered. view
