5M As Nguni Ward Grabs Lions Share Of Mulyungi Bursaries, Pundits Say He Rewarded Loyal Voters

BY PATRICK KIMANZI, Editor

MWINGI Nguni Ward in Mwingi Central Constituency this week grabbed the lion's share of MP Mulyungi bursaries with more than 2,000 students benefitting from a staggering Ksh. 5M allocated in 2018/2019 financial year, local media reported on Friday.

Rewarding A Loyal Electorate?

The move by the MP has been interpretated by area political pundits as a way of rewarding a loyal electorate considering that Nguni Ward voted en_masse for the flamboyant development orientated legislator.

But in a quick rejoinder, the Wiper MP aide in charge of all Hon. Mulyungi Communications rebutted the suggestion albeit with a caveat:

"I can not deny that Gideon Mulyungi has a soft spot for his Nguni and Ukasi voters considering that when 5 people drowned at Enziu River, and another at Ivuusya Dam, the MP tagged along with MCA Kiruru. He responded with a lightening speed, quickly donating over Ksh 100,000, foodstuffs and hiring divers from Nairobi to help retrieve trapped bodies from the raging claudron, even as Kitui slept on the Job.

Number of orphans, population size and poverty levels

Hon. Mulyungi Bursary allocation exercise is driven by official rather than merely political factors: for example, number of orphans, population size and poverty levels" said Patrick Kimanzi, Mulyungi Director of Communications.

Not A Single Student Will Stay At Home

"This week and the next I will issue bursaries to more than 13,000 students.

My Manifesto is clear on Education: Not a single student will stay at home due to school fees. Period" Said Gideon Mulyungi without commenting on why Nguni Ward people won his heart and mind this year.
