Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika has maintained her commitment to supporting children with special needs through her bursary program. She said the inclusion and prioritisation were meant to prepare special needs children to become self-reliant in the future. Speaking at Nyayo Garden when she launched the Sh342 million County Bursary for the Financial Year 2023/2024, Kihika said the program would also support Youth Training Vocational programs such as driving to equip the younger generation with skills for self-employment. Last year, the County Government of Nakuru allocated Sh177.8 million for education bursaries. “Equally, the county government has increased the number of beneficiaries from last year’s 48,080 students to 60,425 drawn from all the 11 Sub-Counties of Nakuru County,” she said.
