Parents from Kitutu Masaba constituency have been urged to apply for bursaries in order to enable them pay fees balances for their children in various schools and colleges.
This comes a moment after a section of parents from the region accused the CDF committee in the region of allegedly paying fees directly to institutions without necessarily specifying then amount given to each child.
On Sunday, area MP, Timothy Bosire urged parents to desist from crying foul and instead apply for CDF funds for the purpose of offsetting school balances.
“It’s quite unfortunate that many of you keep on crying foul that the CDF committee hasn’t awarded you money yet few of you apply. We cannot give out funds based on assumptions and imaginations. That is why you have to apply and following the laid down procedures,” he told a gathering at Miriri.
Bosire defended himself record and silenced his critics by labelling them ‘enemies of development’ he challenged them face him of in the next elections.
“I have taken enough of these criticisms and this is the time to ask them to wait for me in 2017. I am ready to vanquish them. But the issue of bursaries is critical and you must all apply. We are very sensitive in giving the bursaries but it’s the vulnerable that are given first priority,” he said.
His sentiments come a few weeks after perennial parliamentary aspirant Victor Swanya accused the legislator of disbursing the funds without using an appropriate procedure.
