TAITA TAVETA COUNTY BURSARIES: WANAFUNZI WANASUBIRI, WAZAZI WANA HOFU

Ni lini bursary za Kaunti ya Taita Taveta zitatolewa?

Kwaela News Network imepokea malalamiko kutoka kwa wazazi, wanafunzi wa vyuo vikuu na vyuo vingine vya elimu ya juu, pamoja na wanakamati wa bursary katika wadi mbalimbali, kuhusu kuchelewa kutolewa kwa bursary za Serikali ya Kaunti ya Taita Taveta kwa mwaka 2026.

Kwa mujibu wa malalamiko tuliyopokea, tarehe 22 Julai 2026, Serikali ya Kaunti ilitangaza zoezi la kutuma maombi ya bursary na kuwahimiza wananchi kujaza na kurejesha fomu hizo kwa haraka.

Hata hivyo, zaidi ya mwezi mmoja baada ya tangazo hilo, wazazi na wanafunzi wanasema bado hawajapata maelezo ya wazi kuhusu lini fedha hizo zitatolewa.

Wanafunzi wa vyuo vikuu na vyuo vingine wanasema kuchelewa huko kunawaweka katika hali ngumu, hasa wale wanaohitaji kulipa karo ili kuruhusiwa kufanya mitihani yao.

Wazazi nao wanajiuliza kwa nini wananchi walihimizwa kuharakisha maombi ikiwa hakuna ratiba iliyo wazi ya kutolewa kwa fedha hizo.

🟢 MASWALI MATANO YANAYOHITAJI MAJIBU

🔴 1. Idara ya Elimu inasema nini?

Afisa Mkuu wa Kaunti (CCO) anayesimamia Idara ya Elimu anapaswa kuwaeleza wazazi na wanafunzi ni lini bursary hizo zitatolewa na ni hatua gani zimefikiwa katika kushughulikia maombi yaliyowasilishwa.

🔴 2. Kwa nini wanakamati wa bursary hawajalipwa stahiki zao?

Malalamiko yaliyowasilishwa kwa KNN yanadai kuwa wanakamati wa bursary katika ngazi ya wadi hawajalipwa posho zao tangu mwaka 2023, licha ya kutekeleza majukumu yao.

Ikiwa madai haya yatathibitishwa, Serikali ya Kaunti inapaswa kueleza kwa nini malipo hayo yamechelewa na ni lini stahiki za waliofanya kazi zitalipwa.

🔴 3. Idara ya Fedha inaeleza nini kuhusu ucheleweshaji huo?

Idara ya Fedha, chini ya uongozi wa CECM husika, inapaswa kuweka wazi hali ya fedha zilizotengewa bursary, hatua ya utekelezaji wa bajeti na ratiba inayotarajiwa ya kutoa fedha hizo.

🔴 4. Bursary zitafika shuleni lini?

Wazazi wanaripoti kuwa baadhi ya wanafunzi wanadaiwa karo na shule. Hali hii inazua wasiwasi kuhusu uwezo wao wa kuendelea na masomo na kufanya mitihani kwa wakati.

Serikali ya Kaunti inapaswa kueleza ni lini fedha zitafikishwa kwa walengwa na taasisi za elimu zitakazolipwa moja kwa moja, pale utaratibu husika unaporuhusu.

🔴 5. Je, Serikali ya Kaunti imewapa wananchi matumaini ambayo haijatimiza?

Wananchi wanataka kujua kwa nini zoezi la maombi lilitangazwa na kupewa uzito mkubwa, lakini hadi sasa hawajapata maelezo ya kuridhisha kuhusu kutolewa kwa bursary.

Serikali inapaswa kutoa taarifa rasmi badala ya kuwaacha wazazi na wanafunzi katika hali ya sintofahamu.

🟢 UWAZI NA UWAJIBIKAJI NI MUHIMU

Bursary ni msaada muhimu kwa familia zinazokabiliwa na changamoto za kifedha katika kugharamia elimu ya watoto wao.

Kwa wanafunzi wa vyuo vikuu na vyuo vingine, kuchelewa kwa fedha hizo kunaweza kuongeza mzigo wa karo na kuhatarisha mipango yao ya masomo.

Kwaela News Network inatoa wito kwa uongozi wa Serikali ya Kaunti ya Taita Taveta, Idara ya Elimu na Idara ya Fedha kutoa majibu ya wazi kuhusu:

🔸Hali ya sasa ya maombi ya bursary.

🔸Sababu za kuchelewa kutolewa kwa fedha.

🔸Tarehe inayotarajiwa ya malipo.

🔸Hatua za kulipa posho za wanakamati wa bursary ambazo hazijalipwa, ikiwa madai hayo yatathibitishwa.

Wazazi na wanafunzi hawahitaji ahadi nyingine zisizo na tarehe. Wanahitaji majibu, ratiba na hatua zinazoonekana.

Serikali ya Kaunti inapaswa kutoa ufafanuzi rasmi ili kuondoa wasiwasi unaoongezeka miongoni mwa wananchi.

PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY: HOW MUCH DID THE BATTLEFIELD MARATHON RAISE?

The Taita Taveta County Government, in collaboration with Taita Taveta University and other partners, has been organising the Battlefield Marathon to raise funds for the Taita Taveta University Endowment Fund while promoting sports, tourism, cultural heritage and community development.

The 2025 event and the 2026 edition, scheduled for 8–10 October 2026, presented opportunities to mobilise resources through participant registration fees, individual and corporate sponsorships, vendor exhibition charges and other contributions.

However, an important public accountability question remains: How much money was actually raised, and how much ultimately reached the University Endowment Fund?

The organisers should publicly disclose the total revenue collected from each event, provide a breakdown of the sources of income, account for the expenditure incurred in organising the marathon, and identify the beneficiaries of the funds raised. They should also clarify the amount remitted to the University Endowment Fund and provide supporting financial statements or audited accounts.

For the 2026 edition, the organisers should further disclose the revenue collected from the Tsavo Cultural Festival and Exhibition, including payments made by vendors and participating businesses, where these funds form part of the event's finances.

This inquiry is not intended to discredit the initiative. Rather, it seeks to establish whether the resources mobilised in the name of education, conservation, cultural heritage and community empowerment have been accounted for transparently and utilised for their stated purposes.

Public trust depends not only on raising money for a good cause, but also on accounting for every shilling collected.

The Taita Taveta County Government, Taita Taveta University Endowment Fund and the event organisers should provide the public with clear answers.

How much was raised in 2025? How much was raised in 2026? How much was spent, who benefited, and how much was remitted to the University Endowment Fund?

These are legitimate questions of public interest. Transparency and accountability should be integral to every initiative that solicits public support and mobilises resources for community benefit.

🚨 FRESH COMPLAINTS ROCK KENYATTA HIGH SCHOOL–MWATATE

Parents raise questions over unpaid teachers' dues and delayed KCSE awards

Fresh concerns have emerged at Kenyatta High School–Mwatate, with a concerned parent raising questions over alleged unpaid remedial teaching dues and the continued postponement of the school's KCSE 2025 prize-giving ceremony.

In a letter dated 25 September 2026, addressed to fellow parents, the Board of Management (BOM) and the Parents Association, the parent raises two key issues:

🔴 1. UNPAID REMEDIAL TEACHERS' DUES

The parent alleges that teachers who conducted the Term Three 2025 remedial programme and Form Four finishing programme have yet to receive their dues, despite parents reportedly having paid for the services in full.

🔴 2. DELAYED KCSE 2025 PRIZE-GIVING

The letter claims that a prize-giving ceremony intended to recognise the performance of KCSE 2025 candidates and their teachers was scheduled for Term Two of 2026 but had not been held by the date of the complaint.

The parent warns that the delay risks undermining teacher morale and denying deserving candidates and teachers recognition for their achievements.

THE BIG QUESTIONS

Where is the money collected for the remedial programme, and why have the teachers allegedly not been paid?

Why has the promised prize-giving ceremony not taken place?

And what action will the Board of Management take to address these concerns?

These latest complaints add to the growing questions surrounding governance, financial accountability and staff welfare at the institution, following other allegations raised about the school's administration.

The claims in the parent's letter have not been independently verified, and the school's management and Board of Management should be given an opportunity to respond.

📢 Parents deserve answers. Teachers deserve their dues. Students deserve recognition.

KWAELA NEWS NETWORK (KNN) will continue to follow matters of public interest affecting education and accountability in Taita Taveta County.
