The Senate majority leader and celebrated lawyer Kipchuba Murkomen has confirmed that Felix Kibet, the best student in the last national examination has received a scholarship from Kerio Valley Member of parliament.
In a tweet on Monday, Murkomen urged all those who have been reaching to him on the issue to get ascertained that the matter is sorted out. He cited to have communicated with the area mp and was assured that the student would proceed with studies effectively.
"To those who have been contacting me on this matter, I would like to let you know that the area MP @bkamket has informed me that he has sorted it and the student will now proceed with his education."
This comes after the story of Kibet was highlighted by NTV where the boy has so many hurdles that were about to deter his desire for education. He cited lack of school fees and also missing out in this year scholarship as some of the hurdles.
Nevertheless, Embakasi Mp Babu Owino had requested any member of goodwill who knew the details of the student to submit them immediately. Babu Owino claimed that education is a fundamental right and no one should miss out. He added up that a hand that gives also receives and vanity is vanity.
