Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Uasin Gishu Senator Jackson Mandago has been arrested, just hours after an arrest warrant was issued against him.<\/p>\n

This was after he failed to show up in Nakuru court for plea-taking.<\/p>\n

He was arrested at his residence and taken to the DCI regional office in Nakuru. He had earlier claimed that he was on his way to the court.<\/p>\n

The senator is among three other county officials in the spotlight over the Finland and Canada Overseas Education Programme.<\/p>\n

A Nakuru court issued the arrest warrant on Wednesday, ordering the arrest of the senator to face various charges in court.<\/p>\n

President William Ruto on Wednesday told those who allegedly stole millions from parents in the overseas education programme to return the money.<\/p>\n

He said the fiasco was embarrassing and he would not allow such to happen again<\/p>\n

Ruto who spoke in Eldoret town said it was an embarrassment for anyone to steal money meant for education of young people in Uasin Gishu<\/p>\n

He said those involved should carry their cross.<\/p>\n

So far Mandago has recorded a statement with detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to aid in the probe.<\/p>\n

He has also been grilled by detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) for his role in the programme.<\/p>\n
