The family of the Kenyan student, who died by suicide in Finland, have pointed an accusing finger at the Uasin Gishu County Government for doing little to address the plight of students who are studying abroad.

Speaking during the burial of Rodgers Kipruto, 27 who had travelled to pursue a nursing degree at Laurea University, Tikkurila campus, they claimed that the students were abandoned once they landed in the foreign country.
