After nearly a month of silence, parents affected by the botched Uasin Gishu County's Finland and Canada airlift education programme will be back to the streets starting tomorrow.

Yesterday, parents who spoke to The Standard said despite calling off the protests to pave the way for a conducive environment for the eighth devolution conference in Eldoret town last month, they were yet to get refunds of millions of shillings they paid for their children to study in the two foreign countries.
