Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Bungoma governor Ken Lusaka has approved Sh200 million for onward payment of pending school fees for needy cases.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the secondary school heads meeting (KESSHA) on Thursday, Lusaka said that the school heads should expect money in their school accounts starting next week.<\/p>\n

Lusaka added though the program was noble, it required a proper audit to make it better and sustainable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very ambitious program hence the need to carry out a proper audit that is not aimed at witch-hunting but making it more transparent and sustainable,” he said.<\/p>\n

He assured the school heads that the program was there to stay and laughed off those who thought his regime would do away with it.<\/p>\n

“I am a career civil servant and you don’t scrap a good idea just because it was started by your predecessor,” Lusaka said.<\/p>\n

The governor at the same time announced that the county government will soon roll out a program that will see the hiring of intern teachers to help struggling schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring my campaigns, I promised to help out already overburdened schools by hiring teachers on an internship basis that we are going to do,” Lusaka said.<\/p>\n
