Concerns have been raised over the unfair and skewed disbursement of bursaries in Emurrua Dikkr constituency, Narok County.

Residents led by Emily Keter, say specific people have been benefiting from the bursaries, while deserving students miss out.

Speaking at a meeting in the area, Keter claimed NGCDF officers have been demanding a minimum of sh 3,000 to help one get the bursaries.

“There has been a lot of unfairness in the disbursement of bursaries. NGCDF officers have been demanding a minimum of sh 3,000 to help you get the bursaries,” said Keter.

Monicah Busienei on her part claimed that despite raising the matter before no action has since been taken, a situation that has left many students frustrated.

“This problem has gone on for long and despite raising our concerns severally, no action has been taken. Many students and parents are now frustrated and depressed,” said Busienei.

The residents want the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to launch investigations, further claiming that cases of sexual harassment have also been going on at the NGCDF office.

Area Member of Parliament Johanna Ngeno however appealed for patience from residents, promising to address the problem.

Ngeno vowed to ensure perpetrators are held to account when parliament goes on recess this week, stating that disbursement of bursaries should be above board.

“Next week we will go on recess. We have police officers here and when i come, I want to see the culprits handcuffed and taken to the police station. We cant allow such a vice to go on,” stated Ngeno.
