Recently after several complaints about the abuse of the State house scholarship, President Museveni proposed that the funds meant for the state house scholarships are allocated to the Students loan scheme.
The proposed has been welcomed by the central region youth MP Patrick Nakabale saying that a well funded students loan scheme would be all embracing and benefit more students based on merit rather a few favored ones.
However Bukooli North MP Stephen Baka Mugambi who worked at the State house for a long time is of the view that the State House Scholarship and the Student’s Loans Scheme are both important that should be maintained.
