The legislator, who is the area NG-CDF Patron, said another Shs.18 million had been disbursed to several secondary schools as bursaries for 5,000 students.
“The cheques have already landed in the respective institutions and we do not expect any learner from Khwisero to be sent back home for fees,” he added.
