KARIMUI-NOMANE MP Francis Alua says there has been a delay in the payment of tuition, board and lodging fees for students from his district attending tertiary institutions and collages and should be paid this week. Alua said K2 million was allocated to support those student attending higher institutions and the payments would be made into the accounts of only the registered and recognised institutions. “This school fees assistance is beneficial to the qualified students upon filling in their application forms and presenting relevant school documents,” he said. Alua said his district had fallen behind many developments and education was one of them and he would be focusing on that in his five year term as MP.
“Education is a shared responsibility and the district will play its part to assist where necessary but where there is a down fall, the parents must step in,” he said. “A total of 540 students from the district were qualified to benefit from the K2 million and the payment is expected to be done tomorrow (Feb, 21).” Alua added that his next step was to roll out capacity and infrastructure maintenance for all existing public facilities such as roads, airstrips, health centres, schools and staff housing.
