Former Uasin Gishu County Executive Committee Member for Education, Joseph Kurgat, was yesterday put to task over his involvement in the Sh1.1 billion Finland and Canada education programme.
Initially, Kurgat, who testified before Nakuru Senior Principal Magistrate Peter Ndege, denied any involvement in the programme.
He told the court that he became aware of the programme in April 2022.
However, he admitted to writing a letter to his then Chief Officer, Joseph Maritim, in August 2022, seeking clarification on what the programme entailed. "The programme was being run under my department but by my Chief Officer.
