Nakuru County Government today launched a bursary worth Ksh 287 million, which is set to benefit 49,865 students across the county.
Speaking at the event held at Langalanga Secondary School, Nakuru CEC for Education Zipporah Ngugi said that despite the court battle that delayed the disbursement of the bursaries, the release would ease the burden on the students and ensure they don’t have an interrupted learning experience.

She stated that the processing of the funds has been done transparently. She assured the parents and residents that the funds would be wired to the school accounts in earnest.
Nakuru County Assembly Majority Leader William Mutai stated that such legal obstacles to prevent counties from issuing bursaries to needy students are unnecessary and should be resolved amicably to avoid disrupting the interests of the students.
