Instead, Kimilu urged the administrators to retain the students at their respective institutions, saying he and other legislators, will soon give bursaries to alleviate the challenges the schools were experiencing.

“I finished giving bursaries to students in colleges; now I have initiated the disbursement of money to students in secondary schools to pay their fees. I therefore urge principals in my area to allow students to continue with their learning,” said Kimilu during a fundraising event for Mukuyuni Catholic Church at Mukuyuni Primary School on Sunday.

“I will ensure every home is connected to electricity, since that one is my docket,” reiterated Kimilu.

This comes at as time when schools are grappling with lack of funds as the government is yet to send free Education money.
