Nairobi businessman Alinur has condemned student Mercy Tarus for the way she spoke to Uasin Gishu senator mandago and governer Bii over the Finland scholarship saga.
Alinur took to his Twitter page, saying that Mercy should apologize to the politicians because her delivery was disrespectful.
"Those who are clapping for Mercy Tarus for being rude before her elders and Uasin Gishu leaders Governor Jonathan Bii, his deputy John Barorot, and Senator Jackson Mandago, you should be ashamed of yourself because you are not helping solve the situation. This is a very serious situation that even President William Ruto should call all the parents, guardians, and students to State House Nairobi and listen to them," he said
the businessman claimed that Mercy looked like she wanted to get into politics. He asked Mercy to watch out for her behaviour so as not to divert the attention from the issues at hand because they don't need drama but rather accountability.

"However, I don't like how Mercy Taurus and others handle the situation. Why is she organising demonstrations? I even listened to her talking on Citizen TV, and it is like she wants to get into politics! We all want parents to be refunded their money and the leaders arrested, but Mercy Tarus should be keen and watch her behaviour so that she doesn't divert from the main issue and lose the money. We don't need dramas for them to be refunded. We only need accountability." he added.
Mercy came to the attention of kenyans after a video of her expressing her disappointment at the Uasin gishu governor and senator over their handling of the scholarship saga.
In the now-viral video, the student reprimanded the leaders for arriving late at the meeting they called to discuss the issue. She accused the leaders of constantly lying to them about when the scholarships would be available.
She lady noted that the children of the politicians have all moved to Australia or Europe, adding that the politicians have given their children a headstart while the children of poor people still languish in absolute poverty.
Governor Jonathan Bii distanced himself from the Finland scholarship fee payment incident last month, saying that former governor Jackson Mandago (now Uasin Gishu Senator) should come forward and explain what happened.
