Bernard Kitungi on Mwingi West CDF Bribery

In May 2015, Benard Kitungi told Constituency Development Fund committee members to stop seeking bribes from poor parents to give them bursaries. Kitungi said those found culpable will be prosecuted.

“Residents should not give money to any member of Mwingi West locational bursary committee to facilitate bursary. I have received this information with a lot of concern. Those involved will carry their own cross,” Kitungi said.

He said he will not let corruption to derail his development agenda.

The legislator said all poor students deserve bursary irrespective of their ethnic or political affiliations.

“I am shocked that many parents go home empty-handed and yet the government has set aside funds to ease their burdens.” He urged parents and guardians who have been forced to bribe officials to report to his office.
