"Mr. Ledama, before we can further this conversation, Talk to your fellow senators to bring the Uasin Gishu County Government to book and compel them to refund rightfully hard-earned money to the Citizens of Kenya. Maybe then, we can talk. Otherwise, I have nothing more to say."

Under an agreement with the Uasin Gishu County Government, successful candidates were assured of future employment opportunities upon completing their education abroad.
Parents of the beneficiaries were instructed to submit the required fees through a designated county government account.
