<\/div>\n
Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has made strong his constituency-wide bursary programme, issuing cheques personally to needy students as he expands the initiative to polling stations across the constituency.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Amisi handed over bursary cheques to beneficiaries at St. Michael\u2019s Top Station Secondary School, covering students from Top Station,St. Joseph\u2019s, Grasslands and Farm Prison polling stations.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The exercise also extended to Sango Primary School in Kinyoro Ward, where students from Sango, Sikulu, Makhele, Chepkoilel and Tuuyokony\u2019 polling centres received bursary support.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
Amisi said the programme was designed to ensure needy students from different parts of Saboti have access to financial support for their education.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cEarlier this morning, I jetted back from Tharaka Nithi to my constituency to continue with our historic polling station-by-polling station bursary initiative. We are reaching out to needy students across Saboti so that financial challenges do not force our children out of school,\u201d Amisi said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The MP said his commitment to education was informed by his personal experience growing up as an orphan and understanding the impact that access to opportunity can have on a young person’s future.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cEducation is the great equalizer. Having risen from humble beginnings as an orphan, I understand the power of opportunity. That is why I will continue investing in our children, supporting their education and building a better future for Saboti,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Amisi said the bursary programme would continue reaching beneficiaries across the constituency, with the polling station approach intended to bring the support closer to families.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He also defended the initiative as part of his focus on delivering tangible assistance to constituents rather than making promises without follow-through.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cNo empty promises and no excuses. We are committed to delivering tangible support to our people and making sure that the resources meant for our children reach those who need them most,\u201d Amisi said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The MP urged beneficiaries to make good use of the support and remain focused on their studies.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cOur message to the students is simple: stay in school, work hard and take advantage of every opportunity available to you. We want our children to study, succeed and become the future leaders of Saboti,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The bursary distribution is expected to continue across other polling stations in the constituency as Amisi seeks to reach more needy students.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cLet our children study. Saboti is all about work and delivery. We will continue doing our part to ensure that our young people have the opportunity to pursue their education and achieve their dreams,\u201d Amisi said.<\/div>\n
