Uasin Gishu is sending another cohort of students to Finland despite its airlift programme running into headwinds in the last four months.

On Saturday, a group of 40 students secured visas to Finland and indicated they would start their university studies next month. Parents who paid millions of money for their children to study in Finnish colleges and universities have been demanding refunds.
