Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Mercy Tarus, identified as the female student from Uasin Gishu County who questioned leaders on failed Finland education programme scholarship.
Uasin Gishu County leadership was on the receiving end on Monday during a meeting with parents and students over the Finland education programme.
Those present included; Governor Jonathan Bii, deputy governor John Barorot and Senator Jackson Mandago.
One female student caught the attention of social media users for speaking truth to power.
She told the leaders present about how their children are studying abroad as they (Finland scholarship beneficiaries) languish in poverty back at home.
The public has reacted, congratulating the young lady for showing bravery and calling a spade a spade.
Below are the sentiments of the public:
Abuga Makori: We need such Bold and Courageous young people. This Girl had the guts to lecture the likes of Jackson Mandago and Uasin Gishu politicians over the fraudulent Finland airlift program. President Ruto should reprimand these thieves led by Mandago and compel them to refund poor parents.
Cyprian Is Nyakundi: This bold lady from Uasin Gishu asked Bii, Mandago, and Barorot some tough questions. This is how Kenyans should be facing non-performing politicians.
Eng. Nyasikera: This girl addressing Mandago, Barorot, and Chelilim on the Finland scam is the reason Gen Z makes me happy. They have no chills. I wouldn’t want my children to question anything that doesn’t feel right. She is very respectful, too.
In an emotional address doing rounds on social media, the lady said a few of her colleagues were suffering with depression.
“You are very mean with the truth, you keep lying, you smile at us, with a very smooth tongue and a very soft face that looks like it’s very innocent, but you keep on lying and lying,” she said.
She also put the politicians on the spot for arriving late for the meeting yet the elderly had been kept waiting since morning.
