Residents of Kiambu county have been urged to ensure that their children acquire a high level of education if they want them to effectively benefit from the county employment and appointment opportunities.
Kikuyu Member of County Assembly Mr. Binary Wainaina observed that currently, only a few people from that region are employed by the county government because most of them do not have the qualifications required.
The MCA further appealed to the residents to change their attitude towards acquiring bursaries. Wainaina regretted that due to their negative attitude, most people still do not assist their children to apply for bursaries yet there are numerous bursary schemes that can support in acquiring better education for their children.
He therefore urged them to embrace the importance of higher education and to take advantage of the bursaries available in the Sub-County since the opportunities were equally available to everyone.
