The latest Auditor General report has exposed a scandal involving several high-profile MPs and the misappropriation of constituency education bursaries.
The report Auditor General, Nancy Gathungu uncovers a disturbing trend: crucial documents and records for bursary allocations are either missing or incomplete, raising serious questions about accountability and transparency.
The investigation found that while some candidates received education cash, their whereabouts or academic progress could not be traced. This alarming finding highlights a severe lapse in the monitoring and management of these funds, designed to support needy learners.
Even more troubling is the revelation that several Constituency Development Fund (CDF) Committees failed to provide essential support documents required for the vetting process of beneficiaries.
Moreover, numerous MPs are implicated in this scandal for their failure to produce acknowledgment letters from the beneficiary institutions, a key requirement to verify the utilization of the bursaries. Among those named are Saboti MP Caleb Amisi, North Horr MP Wario Adhe, Rongo MP Paul Adour, Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi, Suna West MP Peter Masara, Thika Town MP Alice Ng’ang’a, Njoro MP Charity Kathambi, and Laikipia East MP Mwangi Kiunjuri.
Their involvement raises serious concerns about their commitment to supporting education in their constituencies.
The Auditor General’s findings suggest a pattern of negligence or deliberate misconduct. With public trust eroded, there is mounting pressure on these MPs to account for their actions and address the lapses in the bursary allocation system. This scandal not only jeopardizes the future of many deserving students but also highlights a critical need for stringent oversight and reform in how educational funds are managed.
As investigations continue, the public and stakeholders await answers and corrective measures to ensure that future bursary funds are handled with the transparency and integrity they deserve.
