University students from Magarini sub-county staged a peaceful demonstration in Gongoni, protesting unfair allocation of bursary funds.
The 34 Pwani University students accused the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) committee of preferential allocation of bursary funds.
They alleged that they had been forced to pay Sh2,000 to members of the CDF committee in order to access the funds.
They presented a protest memorandum at the CDF offices. Contacted, Magarini MP Harrison Kombe denied any wrong doing and stated that the money was allocated to all students from the constituency.
Mr Kombe said this year's allocation was given to students pursuing medical studies and those in tertiary institutions. He said Pwani University received financial aid in the last financial year.
