Othaya Member of Parliament, Hon. Wambugu Wainaina, has reaffirmed his commitment to education by issuing bursary cheques worth Ksh. 4,075,000 to various day secondary schools in Mahiga and Karima wards. This initiative, part of his ambitious \u2018Masomo Bora\u2019 program, aims to make education accessible and affordable, ensuring that no student is forced out of school due to financial constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this transformative program, each student enrolled in a day secondary school receives Ksh. 8,000, with parents required to pay only Ksh. 1,000 per term. The initiative provides much-needed financial relief, reducing school dropout rates and enabling students to focus on their education without the stress of unpaid fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am a strong believer in the transformative power of education, and I am committed to fostering equality through learning. This program is meant to ensure that no child is sent home due to a lack of school fees. However, I urge parents to play their part by ensuring their children attend school consistently and make the most of this opportunity,” he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ksh. 4,075,000 disbursed marks a significant investment in the future of Othaya\u2019s youth, strengthening the constituency\u2019s education sector and promoting academic excellence. The \u2018Masomo Bora\u2019 initiative is not just about financial support\u2014it is a deliberate strategy to curb school dropouts, empower students, and secure a brighter future for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
