Uasin Gishu Senator Jackson Mandago allegedly offered to sell his land in order to compensate victims of the Sh1.1 billion Finland and Canada education programme scandal.

Asenath Okello, a witness in the case, on Thursday told Nakuru Senior Principal Magistrate Peter Ndege that at some point, when the programme faced challenges, Mandago-who initiated it-together with current Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii, convened a meeting with the victims.
