Victims of the Finland and Canada scholarships scandal on Tuesday held demonstrations in Eldoret town, threatening to continue with the protests every week until their funds are refunded.

"If they don't return our money, we will continue with the demonstrations, or they should give us an alternative solution,” said one of the protesters.

The victims accused leaders for not pushing for their rights after the court acquitted senator Jackson Mandago and two others.

Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission regional manager Kuntai Ole Tingisa had a rough time while trying to answer the parents and their children as to why the case was rendered less evidence.

Ole Tingisa sked the parents to appeal the case, noting that it's beyond their mandate.

The victims instead argued that they had submitted sufficient evidence.

“Around 200 people were witnesses—they brought bank slips, they brought account details, they brought advertisements, they brought admission letters—and at the end Mandago and his associates were acquitted,” said one of the victims.

They also asked for President William Ruto’s intervention in the matter. In the July 23 verdict, Principal Magistrate Alloyce Ndege ruled that dozens of witnesses had testified during the trial, but the charges had not been proved to the required legal threshold. Citizen Digital
