Parents of Uasin Gishu County who were affected after their children failed to secure admission to overseas universities despite paying millions to study in Finland and Canada through the Overseas Education Trust scholarship, are pleading for help from the government and well-wishers to help support their children realize their education dreams.
Through the Eldo 40 Vijana TuJiinue Vijana Tujisaidie Initiative, chaired by its Founder Hosea Kemei, the affected parents expressed disappointment and fear over the threats they receive while advocating for justice and fair treatment of the affected youths and parents in the Finland-Canada Overseas education saga.
Noah Kemboi, one of the parents, revealed that more than 200 students are still at home three years after the alleged Finland-Canada education scam happened in Uasin Gishu.
The scam subjected parents to unbearable economic hardship after they lost all they had in terms of fees to pay for their children's studies abroad, which never came to fruition.
