Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii is proposing an elders-led Alternative Justice System (AJS) to resolve the Sh1.1 billion Finland and Canada education programme dispute, following the acquittal of former Governor Jackson Mandago.

• The dispute involves a controversial overseas scholarship programme that failed to materialize, leaving hundreds of parents who paid large sums of money affected.
• Key figures involved include Governor Jonathan Bii and former Governor/current Senator Jackson Mandago, along with other county officials previously charged.
• The proposed AJS framework aims to facilitate mediation involving elders, clergy, MCAs, and community leaders to achieve compensation and closure for affected families outside of court proceedings.
