Outgoing Kesses MP Swarup Mishra alias Kiprop trended for the better of Friday after reports of him withdrawing academic scholarships for over 300 students emerged.
Several social media pages, particularly Facebook and Twitter, were awash with reports that the outgoing parliamentarian had abruptly ended sponsorship of the students studying in local and international colleges and universities.
For instance, Kenya Hustler Nation wrote: "Former Kesses MP Dr Mishra Kiprop drops 300 students whom he has sponsored their education scholarships from own pocket after losing in Aug 2022 general elections to a UDA candidate. The former legislator is also set to collect back hundreds of dairy cows and motorcycles, which he had previously donated to Kesses constituency residents."
