Airlift protests: Uasin Gishu parents call off Devolution conference demos
Parents of students in the Finland and Canada airlift saga in Uasin Gishu County speak to police officers during a protest at the Governor's Kapseret Sub-County office on July 10, 2023, demanding a refund of money paid towards the study programme.
Disgruntled Uasin Gishu parents seeking a refund over the aborted Canada and Finland education airlift programme have backed down on their threats to disrupt the Devolution Conference happening in Eldoret starting Wednesday morning.
They said Tuesday they decided to suspend protests out of respect for President William Ruto who is scheduled to attend the Devolution Conference Wednesday.
