Bursary Millions Paid Without a Single Document – Auditor-General Exposes Likuyani NG-CDF
Likuyani - Millions of shillings disbursed as bursary to needy students in secondary schools, tertiary institutions and special schools in Likuyani lack critical supporting documents, the Auditor-General has found.
According to the Auditor-General’s report on the financial statements (Pages 110-111), no bursary policy guideline, no public notice calling for applications, no list of applicants, no bursary subcommittee vetting minutes and no acknowledgement receipts from learning institutions were produced for audit review.
The statements of receipts and payments reflect other grants and transfers amounting to tens of millions, including Ksh 22,894,642 for secondary schools, Ksh 20,529,000 for tertiary institutions and Ksh 1,246,000 for special schools. Yet none of the basic records that should prove the money reached the intended needy students were availed.
Management claimed the evidence was provided, but the Auditor-General has marked the matter “Not resolved”.
Parents in this rural constituency continue to struggle to pay school fees while the very funds meant to help their children cannot be properly accounted for.
Questions on the Ground:
How many genuine needy students actually benefited when basic records are missing?
Why were the most elementary documents — policy, application lists and school receipts — not kept for money meant to help our children?
How can parents continue struggling with school fees when bursary records are simply not available for audit?
