Rasanga Administration Embroiled In Bursary Scam

A huge chunk of the recently released Siaya county bursary may be benefiting ghost students, Central Alego MCA Leonard Oriaro has said. Raising the red flag, Oriaro said the county government stands to lose millions of shillings meant to benefit bright but needy students should its administration fail to harmonize the list.

Oriaro said that hundreds of students who were supposed to benefit from the bursary have been locked out through what appears to be a careful scheme that locked out those who sat for the Form Four examinations and completed college last year. Needy students who sat for examinations in 2019 have had their certificates detained for nonpayment of fees despite the county government releasing bursaries. The MCA said the information given that the money was for those in Form Four this year was wrong as those purporting to be beneficiaries were in Form Three last year when the list was compiled. All bursary applications are done by November after which the applications are forwarded to the education office for processing.

This means that the just-released bursary is for the 2019/2020 financial year and must cater for the beneficiaries who were in Form Four or college finalists last year. Oriaro urged Governor Cornel Rasanga to come out and clear the air over the stalemate that has seen destitute children denied certificates, adding that the public was yet to forget the 2018/2019 bursary debacle when the county lost Sh74 million that was yet to be accounted for. Rasanga released a Sh30, 785, 000 bursary, saying that the money would benefit Form Four and tertiary education students who have reported back to the schools.
