Ruto, Finnish President, fights to answer questions about the KSH1.1b scandal

President William Ruto's speech with the Finnish President Alexander Stubb During a state visiting media prison in the State House, Nairobi, took a somewhat uncomfortable turn when the two guides were asked to express the fate of hundreds of students who fell victim to a program with Kenyian officials.

The patient situation began as Nmgs Steve Otieno rose to ask how the position of the Finnish government was on the matter, the subject of media headlines, whereby the majority of the students were still accessible in the center of the program.

During the response to the matter, Stubb gave a vague and non -binding answer instead and explained: “Whenever there are delays with students who occur in Finland, I find it very unfortunate. Fortunately, we have many universities with very good programs, and we hope that many of them will also be put on.”

Avoid avoided to address the alleged participation of Kenyan civil servants or to clarify whether affected students would receive support or amendment.

President Ruto also followed a similar way at the end and only pointed out that the government was in the case.

According to Ruto, the government officials are currently going through accountability mechanisms at the center of the investigation.

“It was a very unfortunate event, and I am very happy to say that some of the officials involved in the fiasco carry out accountability mechanisms to ensure that those who were responsible will be held accountable,” said Ruto.

The scholarship scandal had more than 300 students stranded after their parents had lost about 749 million ksh in a lucrative educational scholarship abroad.

As part of this program, the government of Uasin Gishu County under the former governor Jackson Mandago should act in an agreement with foreign universities and a local company as a guarantee for students, in which families were paid out to a trust fund account.

The scandal was exposed in September 2021 when a group of Kenyan students had been registered at universities in Finland since September 2021 and was then written off.

On Sunday, parents and adolescents in Uasin Gishu County for Charlene Ruto's help with the collection of donations to help the victims of the Finland and Canada scholarship scandal come back to school.

On Sunday, May 11th, the frustrated parents and adolescents taught the president's daughter to a fundraising campaign that is planned for June 4, 2025. The groups try to collect 57 million KH for the victims of the scandal.
