The national government through Constituency Development Fund (CDF) has been urged to expedite the release of money to constituencies to help in running of the schools.
Nambale constituency CDF chairperson Alfred Okochil lamented over the delays in disbursing the funds saying it has greatly affected education standards.
His sentiments were echoed by personal assistant to Nambale MP Mr. Samwel Wandera who stressed on the importance of the government sending money to the constituency kits in adherence to the school learning program.
“The government knows that schools have a program which they follow and it’s prudent that they send money in line with those programs, “he said.
They were speaking at the Nambale CDF offices after issuing bursary cheques worth Ksh. 34,603,000 to secondary school students from the constituency.
Okochil said they are committed to improving the level of education in the constituency through putting up more classrooms, laboratories, libraries and offices in various schools.
Stephen Makonjio, principal Canon Awori secondary school whose school students were among the highest beneficiaries of the 2020-2021 bursary getting a total of Ksh. 314000 thanked the CDF committee for its exemplary work.
The school also earlier got Kshs 4.1millions which was used to put up a laboratory and Kshs 400,000 as emergency fund to repair a classroom which was blown off by wind
