\"\"\"\"The Government has increased bursaries under the Constituencies Development Fund to ensure smooth learning.<\/p>\n

This follows the signing into law of The National Government Constituencies Development Fund (Amendment) Bill by President William Ruto on Monday.<\/p>\n

The law increases the allocation from 35 per cent to 40 per cent, a move that will facilitate continuity and completion of education by students.<\/p>\n

The additional funds will also cater for school feeding programmes, especially in drought-stricken areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will check drop-outs, boost enrollment and further the Government\u2019s efforts to increase literacy,\u201d said Majority Leader Kimani Ichungw\u2019ah.<\/p>\n

The Act also increases CDF allocation on environmental activities from two per cent to five per cent to fund for climate crisis.<\/p>\n

Besides that, it introduces a three per cent allocation of the Fund for Constituencies\u2019 digital hubs.<\/p>\n

The hubs, the Government observes, are key in enabling the youth to acquire skills to boost their employability.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the President also assented to the National Lottery Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 69 of 2023).<\/p>\n

This paves the way for the establishment of the National Lottery Board that will administer the newly-established National Lottery.<\/p>\n

The Board will be tasked with the supervision, control and monitoring of the operations of the National Lottery.<\/p>\n

It will also be mandated to erect measures to prevent fraud in the conduct of the National Lottery.<\/p>\n

Mr Ichungw\u2019ah, the sponsor of the Bill, said the goal of the conduct of the National Lottery is to fund social development in the country.<\/p>\n

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang\u2019ula, Attorney General Justin Muturi, Solicitor General Shadrack Mose, among others, were present.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
