President William Ruto has on Monday signed into law the National Government Constituencies Development Fund amendment bill.

The signing of the bill has approved the increment of bursaries under the Constituencies Development Fund to ensure smooth learning.

The law raises the allocation from 35 to 40 percent, which will help students finish their education and maintain their progress.

“This will check drop-outs, boost enrollment and further the Government’s efforts to increase literacy,” said Majority Leader Kimani Ichungw’ah.

Additionally, the Act raises the CDF’s allotment to environmental activities from 2% to 5% in order to address the climate crisis.

In addition, it establishes a 3% Fund allocation for Constituencies’ digital hubs.

According to the government, the hubs play a crucial role in helping young people gain skills that will increase their employability.

Meanwhile, Kenya’s parliament has passed legislation to establish a government-run national lottery which aims to generate funds for healthcare, education and other public priorities, the majority leader’s office said in a brief on Monday

The National Lottery Bill will provide the legal framework for the lottery and create a National Lottery Board to oversee operations. Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah said the lottery’s mission aligns with the administration’s “Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda” to empower citizens financially.
