Nairobi County Government has started an audit of over 600 beneficiaries of former Governor Evans Kidero’s bursaries.
City Hall is suspecting fraud in the criteria used Kidero’s regime to award sh200 milion to over 600 students in the bursaries.
Education executive Muthoni Ouko told
Nairobi News that parents and students will have to wait longer for the verification to be completed.
“No one has cancelled any bursaries, neither are we revoking any scholarship given by the former governor. The county is just undertaking an audit because we found out that those who benefited were not all poor and needy,” said Ms Ouko.
CRONIES
Ms Ouko alleged that some of the beneficiaries are children of City Hall’s staff members and cronies of the former regime who acquired the bursaries through corruption.
She added that the 600 students on record are not visible on the ground, raising the possibility that some of the funds end up in people’s pockets.
“We are also looking for the 600 students who have been receiving these cheques because on the ground we do not see them,”said Ms Ouko.
City Hall has also launched an ambitious programme of sponsoring 1,000 students through high school every year.
