Lurambi MP Titus Khamala allegedly revealed that MPs have been discussing this issue, expressing frustration over the disrespect they face. Online, Kenyans have criticized the bursary amounts, questioning the rationale behind their disbursement.
“Sisi kama wabunge tumeongea kwa kauli moja that CDF yenye inatuletea tabu, tunatukanwa Mpigs, sikuhizi naitwa supreme pig,” Khamala claimed in a video shared by IG Ulizalinks. He highlighted that MPs are often labeled “Mpigs,” a term used to describe greedy politicians in Kenya.

“Hiyo matusi yote to end it to make Gen Z happy, wao pia si hii bursary inaenda kwa Gen Z? Hii inaenda kwa millenials kweli, hii bursary? Si inaenda kwa Gen Z?”
Khamala suggested that if the insults continue, they might discontinue the CDF, leaving Gen Z to find alternative funding sources for their education.

“So mjipange life without CDF,” he admitted, hinting at the potential future without the fund.
MPs have proposed that Gen Z students seek financial assistance through other means such as the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), the Ministry of Education, and county governments.
