The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has announced that it is investigating alleged scholarship fraud in Uasin Gishu County.

In a statement on Friday, July 14, 2023, DCI stated that it had received numerous complaints over the scholarship spearheaded by Uasin Gishu County Government.

“This follows numerous complaints by members of the public from Uasin Gishu County, who claimed to have been defrauded millions of shillings in a scholarship program to the Scandinavian country, that failed to materialize,” the statement read in part.

Detectives from the DCI headquarters are expected to visit the county between July 18 and 21 to unravel the mystery of the scholarships.

“All aggrieved victims are requested to present themselves at the DCI County Headquarters in Eldoret, on July 18 for statement recording and other investigative procedures in order to bring the suspects to book. The victims are requested to bring all the relevant documents in their possession, related to the matter,” the statement added.

In March, it was reported that at least 200 Kenyan students in Finland were facing deportation over a controversy in the management of foreign accounts meant to receive and pay fees for the students.

The parents were required to deposit more funds in the Uasin Gishu Overseas Education Trust Account, where irregular withdrawals are said to have been made by trustees.

As a result, the student in Finland had huge fees arrears, prompting three universities to threaten to initiate the deportation of the students.

The county has since distanced itself from scholarship claims, saying that it only acted as a guarantor and the parents were required to pay fees for their children.
