Saboti MP Caleb Amisi Launches Bursary Application Exercise to Support Needy Students

Saboti Constituency MP Caleb Amisi has officially launched a bursary application exercise aimed at supporting needy students from the region. 

The launch took place at the Cattle Dip polling center in Matisi Ward, marking the beginning of a crucial initiative to assist students in their educational pursuits.

Amisi emphasized the importance of this initiative in his address to the community, highlighting the need for equal educational opportunities for all children, regardless of their financial situation.

"It is important to me to ensure that the process began without any hitches, reflecting my dedication to supporting the education of Saboti residents. I believe every child deserves the opportunity to pursue their education, and this bursary initiative is a step towards making that a reality for many," said Amisi.

The bursary distribution is part of a larger effort to alleviate the financial burdens faced by students in Saboti, ensuring that those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds have the opportunity to continue their education. 

The MP explained that the bursary application forms would be available at local polling stations across the constituency, making it easier for parents and guardians to access the forms and apply.

This approach is intended to ensure that the process reaches every corner of the constituency, including more remote areas where access to services can be limited.

Amisi further reiterated his commitment to the well-being of Saboti residents, particularly in providing access to educational resources.

"I am committed to the well-being of Saboti residents. By prioritizing access to educational resources, I hope to make a positive impact on the lives of Saboti residents," he said.

With the bursary forms now being distributed, the MP expressed confidence that the initiative would bring substantial benefits to local students, helping to improve their access to education and create more opportunities for success.

 "Rest assured, I will continue to work diligently to address the needs of our people and provide opportunities for growth and development," Amisi concluded.

Nursing Services Paralyzed in Trans Nzoia as Nurses Down Tools

Nursing services in public health facilities across Trans Nzoia County have been severely disrupted due to a strike by nurses. The strike was triggered by the county government's failure to address several key issues raised by the Kenya National Union of Nurses and Midwives (KNUNM), the union representing healthcare workers. KNUNM Trans Nzoia Secretary, Edward Cheruiyot, stated that despite mediation efforts by the Ministry of Labour, which appointed a conciliator, no resolution had been reached. “The union has done its part, but the government has failed to avert the strike. The conciliator was appointed, but no meetings have taken place, and no progress has been made,” Cheruiyot said. At the core of the strike are several unresolved issues.

Trans Nzoia Health Workers Refute Sabotage Claims, Urge Dialogue Over Systemic Challenges

Health personnel in Trans Nzoia County used this year’s Labour Day celebrations to defend themselves against allegations of sabotaging healthcare service delivery, asserting that the accusations are baseless and ignore the hardships and systemic challenges they face. Through the county branch of the Kenya National Union of Nurses and Midwives, the health workers raised concerns about staff shortages, burnout, and low morale due to what they termed poor treatment by the county government. “We are not sabotaging services — we are overwhelmed, demotivated, and exhausted. The county has failed to address our grievances and instead dragged us to court. Our work environment is grossly demotivating,” said Edward Cheruiyot, the Secretary of the Union. Cheruiyot called for dialogue between the county government and health workers, citing discrimination in the employment of nurses and lack of proper consultation. He urged the county administration to confirm the employment status of ...
