Outrage after Mandera Governor awards relative Ksh 400K bursary to study abroad
Mandera County Governor awards student alleged to be a relative Ksh 400K bursary to Kampala University
Mandera County Governor awards student alleged to be a relative Ksh 400K bursary to Kampala University.
A decision by Mandera County to give one student a Ksh400,000 bursary to study at a foreign university has left Kenyans infuriated.
According to criticism making the rounds on social media, the governor sent the money to a student who is said to be a realtive.
The student is said to studying at the private Kampala University in neighboring Uganda.
Kenyans questioned the county government’s decision to provide one student such large sums of money while excluding others.
According to Kenyans, this was a reflection of how some of the politicians were only working to benefit their family members by misappropriating county funds.
“This level of nepotism should not be acceptable in our society. We need such leaders to be held accountable,” one commented.

Following the revelation, Kenyans called for the impeachment of the governor and others holding public offices who are entrenching nepotism.
Kenyans expressed dissatisfaction about these governors, claiming they embezzle money intended for development initiatives for their own benefit.
“Since when did bursaries start catering for private institutions or those outside the country,” another questioned.
However, others argued that if the student qualified, it was right to award him the bursary.
They added that some popular politician have also gotten their family members government jobs and opportunities they did not qualify for.
