Gikaria to sponsor 60 students who got over 350 marks in KCPE

A total of sixty pupils from Nakuru East constituency who got over 350 marks in KCSE will get full scholarship in their secondary education.

The sixty pupils, 10 from each of the six wards in Nakuru East Constituency will get the scholarship courtesy of the area MP David Gikaria.

This was revealed to the press at Afraha stadium during an exercise to give CDF bursary forms for 2016.
“We have been doing this even in the past and the first lot that benefited is now in Form Three,” said Mr Naftali Nyambegere the personal assistant to the MP.

The beneficiaries must be residents of Nakuru East constituency and come from needy families. A team from the office of the MP usually visits the home of the applicant to verify that the family is needy.

“It would be sad if these pupils were to fail to attend school due to lack of fees and that is why the office of the Honourable MP is trying the best to see they are admitted. All a parent does is the shopping for the child,” explained Naftali.

Naftali also revealed that the MP’s office has set aside Sh23.8 billion for the year 2016 bursaries which will be awarded to both secondary and college universities.
