Uriri mp Mark Nyamita  has asked school heads not to send students home for fee arrears during this third term.

Nyamita said students were preparing for end of the year exams and sending them home will inconvenience them.

“I humbly urge you to accept back those students you sent home and allow them to prepare for exams” said Nyamita.

The MP said the move was also going to affect performance in the national examinations as students wasted their time moving between home and school in search of fees.

“Some schools have also gone ahead and sent home some students who are going to sit for KCSE. That will gravely affect them,” Nyamita said.

This comes after several schools last week sent home students to fetch fee arrears before their end of terms and KCSE examinations.

He urged the school heads to make do with the little resources they have and accommodate all students in their school to enable student to perform in the fourth coming national exam.

Nyamita told  the school heads that his office had plans to release the next batch of CDF bursary that will sought out the arrears.

“Very soon before November we will issue the forms and the issue will be solved once and for all,” the MP said.

At the same time he urged parents to pay school fee for their children’s and not fully depend on the bursary.

The legislator  asked parents to take their children  to day schools to save them from the burden of paying school fee.

“The Government has subsidized learning in these schools and parents will be required to pay very little money maybe for lunch,” Said Nyamita.

Nyamita was speaking to Secondary school principals at Uriri Education Office in Uriri town on Wednesday.
