Nairobi MCAs have called for the re-introduction of the cheque system in the disbursement of bursaries to needy students.

Through a motion tabled by Highrise Ward MCA Kennedy Oyugi, the leaders argue that the Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) system has led to discrepancies in vouchers issued to parents while various schools have no clear records on the funds disbursed.
