Mercy Tarus Confronts Senator Ledama Olekina Before She Can Accept His Job Offer

Mercy Tarus, a Uasin Gishu graduate who confronted Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii and Senator Jackson Mandago over the botched student airlift program, has issued conditions to Narok senator Ledama Ole Kina before she can accept a job at his office.

Tarus said that she would only work for Ole Kina if he talks to his fellow senators to bring the Uasin Gishu County Government to book and compel them to refund the money to Kenyan citizens.

“Mr. Ledama, before we can further this conversation, Talk to your fellow senators to bring the Uasin Gishu County Government to book and compel them to refund rightfully hard-earned money to the Citizens of Kenya. Maybe then, we can talk. Otherwise, I have nothing more to say,” Tarus said.

Ole Kina had offered Tarus a job after being inspired by her courage to stand up to the Uasin Gishu leaders. He said that he would like to engage her in meaningful employment.

“Mercy Tarus, I would like you to work for me… speak your heart …the future belongs to candid youth! Let’s talk,” Ole Kina said.

It remains to be seen whether Ole Kina will agree to Tarus’ conditions. However, her demand for accountability from the Uasin Gishu County Government is a welcome step.
