Uasin Gishu senator Mandago together with the county government of Uasin Gishu meet the parents of the students that were promised scholarship opportunities during the reign of Mandago as the governor.
The parent alleged that monies were withdrawn from the scholarship account and could not be traced.
The scandal came to light in early 2023 when parents of students who had been awarded scholarships to study in Finland complained that their children risked being deported after accruing tuition fees. Some students were forced to return to Kenya after the situation worsened.
Parents accused the county government of shortchanging and duping them into paying large sums of money to unscrupulous agents.
