After blasting Governor Mandango, Mercy Tarus begs Ruto for help
Mercy Tarus, a recent Kabarak University graduate who earned notoriety for publicly reprimanding Uasin Gishu officials for the Finland education scam in a video, has now resorted to President William Ruto for assistance.
Ms. Tarus is pleading with the President to take action on the pressing issue.
On Monday, Mercy was heard disparaging Jackson Mandago, the senator from Uasin Gishu, Jonathan Bii, and deputy governor John Barorot. As she confronted the three most powerful county chiefs, many Kenyans praised her for her audacity.
Mercy asked President Ruto to stand up for the impacted pupils in a statement to Citizen TV on Wednesday during the parent and student protests in Eldoret town.She continued by asserting that Uasin Gishu County is dealing with a significant issue that need quick action.
“Please fight for us, Uasin Gishu is burning. It is burning, tunaungua, tunaumia, tuko na msongo wa mawazo, tunahitaji pesa zetu!
Hii serikali ilikuwa ya Hustler, sasa hustler ametafuta pesa yake hiyo kidogo yenye amepata. Kama mimi nauza uji. Nimeenda nimehustle nimepata pesa zangu kidogo za uji na mandazi nikuje nilipe nijaribu kutafuta maisha mazuri kwa ajili yangu alafu mtu anakuja kuchukua pesa zangu, watoto wake hawako Kenya wameenda majuu na sasa unanyamaza. Tafadhali, tafadhali rais wetu, usinyamaze. Kunaungua, tulikupigia kura, tunaomba utupiganie. Na ofisi yako tupiganie kabisa tunaumia.”
The complainant made it clear that she and the other complainants wanted their money back that they had contributed to the abandoned international education project.
She claimed that they had become weary of hearing the county authorities’ narratives and justifications for events every time they are questioned.
“I have heard stories since I first paid my money and I am tired of the stories. I am very tired of the stories. Hatukumuweka hapo ndio akuje atupatie stori, stori tunaweza pata mitandaoni. Tumechoka tunataka pesa yetu,”
For the past two days, Mercy has been trending on various social media sites as Kenyan netizens continue to praise her for the audacity with which she challenged Governor Bii, Mandago, and Barorot in a meeting on Monday.
