The Kanduyi Constituency legislator, Hon John Makali, has vowed to continue investing more resources in the
education sector through the National Government Constituencies Development Fund NG-CDF.
While addressing teachers, parents and various stakeholders during the official unveiling of the constituency bursary programme for bright but
needy students in secondary schools, TVETs and universities, at Chemche ACK Mixed Secondary School in Bukembe West Ward, Hon Makali said that he had set aside funds to a tune of Kshs. 38 million to pay tuition fees for beneficiaries.
He noted that every student from a day secondary school will each receive Kshs. 5,000, while those in boarding schools will receive Kshs 10,000 and an allocation of Kshs 12,000 will go to students in tertiary institutions. The MP urged them to focus on their studies fully to be able to reach a bright future.
According to Hon Makali, the NG-CDF office received a total of Kshs. 45 million for the financial year, noting that 85% of the funds
have been channeled towards the education sector.
“Kanduyi constituency is supposed to receive a total capitation of Kshs. 165 million from the National Treasurery,” he said, promising to ensure that Chemche ACK Mixed Secondary School purchases more land using the allocated money for its expansion.
The Chairman of the bursaries vetting committee, Mr. Yusuf Machiva Wafula, applauded its members for their dedication
with identifying the needy students to benefit from the bursary programme.
Also present was Mrs. Rose Nasambu. the Principal of Khaoya Secondary school , Mrs Grace Odiuor of Nalutiri Secondary School and
